    Aug 19, 1942

    It was 76 years, yesterday, since Johnny Mann and some other guys waded ashore at Dieppe, Franceicon.
    Johnny was with the Montreal Fusiliers. He walked off the beach with 8 bullet holes in him. One of which was a compound leg fracture. Johnny didn't know that until the MO on the ship asked him how he got off the beach. "I walked, sir."
    RIP Johnny.
