The Allied fleet left the south coast of England on the night of 18 August 1942, with the Canadians
leaving from the Port of Newhaven. The fleet of eight destroyers and accompanying motor gun boats to escort the
landing craft and motor launches were preceded by minesweepers that cleared paths through the English Channel for them
Colour coded Dieppe Raid landing beaches.The initial landings began at 04:50 on 19 August, with attacks on the two artillery
batteries on the flanks of the main landing area. These included Varengeville – Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer by No4 Commando
Pourville by the South Saskatchewan Regiment and the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, Puys by the
Royal Regiment of Canada, and Berneval by No3 Commando. On their way in, the landing craft and escorts heading
towards Puys and Berneval ran into and exchanged fire with a small German convoy at 03:48.The Allied destroyers
HMS Brocklesby and ORP Slazak noticed the engagement, but their commanders incorrectly assumed that the landing
craft had come under fire from the shore batteries and did not come to their rescue
