Uncommon. "Bob Bowman of the CBC Overseas Staff was one of the correspondents permitted to accompany Allied Forces on the Combined Operations raid on the Occupied French port of Dieppe on August 19, 1942. Although Bowman's transport did not reach shore, his vivid eye-witness account of Canadians in action is a definite contribution to the records of Dieppe. Here is the text of Bob Bowman's talk as broadcast on the CBC National Network at 5.00 p.m. EDT, August 20"--Page 2. ¶ World War, 1939-1945 -- Canada -- Sources.
