La rue Dieppe a été nommée en l’honneur des Canadiens qui ont combattu durant la bataille de Dieppe. Elle se trouve dans le quartier Place Montgomery de Saskatoon, qui a été développé en 1946 pour accueillir les anciens combattants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et leurs familles. La plupart des rues et des parcs de ce quartier sont nommés en l’honneur de militaires importants, de batailles célèbres, d’unités militaires et, dans un cas, d’un aéronef.

Dieppe
A French resort town, Dieppe was the site of a Canadian-British
amphibious raid on August 19, 1942. The plan was to destroy
several German installations and leave immediately. The timing
depended strictly on sunrise with troops having to retreat
before high tide. It failed. Of 5,000 Canadian troops to land,
900 were killed and 1,300 taken prisoner. Many lessons were
learned from this ill-fated attack, including the importance of
prior air bombings and support of assault troops with artillery
fire. These valuable tactics were implemented in subsequent
raids, contributing to the success at Normandy two years later.
