    Flying10uk, you have triggered memories from my teenage years when I first read about the Dieppe Raid. Around 1959/1960, I recall lots of 2/3 full page stories with photos in Sunday newspapers, one was definately about the Dieppe Raid, another was D Day, I remember with a photo of Bill Millin piping on the beach. Reading these newspaper stories started me reading many wartime stories throughout my teens and I'm pretty sure the Dieppe Raid was the first and it certainly brought home the true nature of war.
