FRANCE-CANADA-WWII-MEMORIAL
French nurse Marie-Agnes chats with Canadian caporal Donatien Vaillancourt after the Ceremony of Remembrance 19 August 2007, at the Canadian War Cemetery "Cimetiere des Vertus" in Dieppe, western France. The ceremony marks the 65th Anniversary of the Dieppe Raid. On August 19, 1942, nearly 5,000 members of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division landed as part of Operation Jubilee, a raid on the enemy-held port of Dieppe, at the end of World War II. The nurse met Vaillancourt during the Operation Jubilee, as she rescued wounded soldiers at the Rouen hospital. AFP PHOTO ROBERT FRANCOIS
