The Dieppe raid by the Second Canadian Division on August 19. 1942. "in the final result proved to be probably the most valuable contribution of the war to final and decisive Allied victory." Gen- eflral HDQ. Crerar declared at

yesterday.

He was speaking on the contri- bution of the Canadians at Dleppe curing a luncheon at which he was the guest of the ‘Ipwn.

A warm welcome was tendered him by the citizens of Summer- side when he arrived shortly before noon in the course of a tour to say “good-bye and thank vou" to the men who served un- der him in Europe.

The Canadian Armv Command- er during the invasion of Europe said that he “spoke with ymow- lezetre and conviction when I say that without the bitter lessons learned by that bloody clash .... .. the Allied Supreme Gourmand would have proceeded with their strategieal and tactical planning for the invasion of Europe on ss- sumptlons which were dangerously faulty. and which mlqht have had disastrous results when this inten- tionally decisive and tremendous operation was finally launched."

The basic plan for the raid banked upon tactical surprise.
