Andy, I know the one that used to stand at the Dacre Road junction was moved to the harbourside many years ago.  Has the one from Chapel Street/Fort Road been moved as well?  Where did the third one come from?

Yes, it was moved a few years ago. The Canadian memorial is much more recent than the other two, not sure of the exact date. I'm sure someone will know.

For the Canadian one I would suggest 1982, as being the 60th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid.

I remember my Dad, John Chapman, laying the wreath at the Canadian Memorial in the late 1980s until he and my Mum moved to Yorkshire.
