Hi to All,
Dieppe Raid Canadian veteran Jacques NADEAU joined his childhood friend Robert BOULANGER on February 2, 2017.
The Iconic figure of the Dieppe Raid, Robert BOULANGER from the regiment Les Fusiliers Mont Royal, died on August 19, 1942 at the age of 18, hit by a bullet in the forehead at the opening of the ramp of his landing craft which had just touched the Dieppe Pebble beach, still holding the hand of his buddy Jacques NADEAU who, surviving the raid, never ceased to perpetuate the memory of his childhood friend throughout the past 75 years, travelling 52 times from his native Quebec to Red ''bloody'' Beach, The Dieppe beach, for pouring 52 times the same tears of child to the evocation of that fateful day that carried away Robert (but not him...why not him, he always repeated) to change his life forever...
MAY HE REST IN PEACE...MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
Tribute to Jacques NADEAU & Robert BOULANGER
Jacques NADEAU at Dieppe for the 70th anniversary of the Raid, where he received the medal of honor of the city.
...his 52nd trip and the last one...
I will pay him a special tribute during the annual exhibition I manage with my association "Je Me Souviens"
which will be particularly important this year for the 75 th anniversary...Here is the poster That I just finished.
Best to All,
Thierry
