This month marks the 84th anniversary of the Dieppe raid. This was the first action for the Free French commandos; just 15 men took part, in three groups. This account is the personal testimony of Raymond Rabouhans, who, with colleagues René Taverne and François Baloche, was assigned to fight alongside British Commando No.4. Their role was to destroy the Hess battery of six 155mm cannon at Varengeville, to the west of Dieppe, which threatened the Dieppe landings.
