Special Tanks Carried On Special Barges
Rec. 1.15 a.m. London, Aug. 19. Fighting French participants in the Dieppe raid included naval units, the Ile de France Spitfire squadron and a Commando unit. Some French Commandos fought within a few miles of their own homes. Details of the new British tank-land-ing craft are still on the secret list. They are similar to but larger than troop-carrying barges. Ramps are lowered fore and aft enabling tanks to be driven on and off the barges in fighting trim. The types of tanks carried for the beach landings are also secret.
