Summary
Pontoon bridge over the River Seine hastily erected by Engineers enables vehicles, etc, to speed on in their advance. Once the Seine had been crossed the full scale German retreat began. Along the road to Dieppe the allies pass many signposts saying "Honour to the Canadians" and receive great welcome from citizens. The Canadians visit graves of their comrades who fell in the Dieppe raid two years ago. Flame thrower is seen which is the deadly weapon now being used against the enemy.
