Irish-Canadian, friend of Brittany and passionate about its history and particularly the [[Operation Chariot]], James Dorrian came to almost all the commemorations in Saint-Nazaire. He wrote a book in English with many previously unpublished testimonies and vintage photos: Saint-Nazaire, Operation Chariot - 1942 (Pen & Sword Books, 2006, collection Battleground Europe). He is also partner in the production of a documentary film about [[[Micky Burn]]]'s (1) life, a hero of the [[Operation Chariot]] also known as [[[St Nazaire Raid]]] (voir notre article)

He sent this message to ABP:

I wish you well with the protest, and hope it is very well attended: also that the weather is kind to you all...

In the UK it is now government policy to embrace diversity. What a pity France cannot see the sense in preserving the old cultures.

All the best,

Jim
