Brookwood Memorial
This panel from the Brookwood Memorial lists the names of nine members the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada who took part in the Dieppe Raid on August 19, 1942. Sergeant Leslie Harold Pratt and Privates John Graham, George Ernest Little, Bernard Schacht, Sidney Frederick Sutton, Bennett Vincent Warne, and George Charles Harvey West are reported to have been killed on August 19, 1942. Private Victor Horton is reported to have died on August 21, 1942. Private Victor William Aitken who was reported missing after the raid is reported to have died on March 3, 1945, and presumably survived the raid. That these soldiers are commemorated at this memorial indicates their bodies were never recovered or their graves could not, for some reason, be marked and maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. -
