Combined Ops troops disembarking after Dieppe
Troops disembark back in England after the Combined Operations raid at Dieppe. Note the difference in headgear and uniform of some. It is believed that only those in comforter hats are Commandos.
This photo is from the Library and Archives Canada stating No.3 or No.4 Cdo disembarking after Dieppe raid.

The Lance/Corporal with his right shoulder facing the camera has a slung Thompson Sub-Machine Gun over that shoulder. There is Bren Gunner checking his weapon just in front of the Officer wearing peaked cap (in background) The Commando on the right has his gas cape folded over left arm these proved to be water-proof so a life-saver when living ‘rough’ (which was most of the time ) I heard that from Marine Clifford Welsh RM who served with 45 Cdo RM, landed Sword Beach and ‘yomped’ right through to Germany so he would know!
