James Dorrian supports the Protest on June 18th in Nantes

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. Irish-Canadian, friend of Brittany and passionate about its history and particularly the St Nazaire Raid

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 He wrote a book in English with many previously unpublished testimonies and vintage photos: Saint-Nazaire, Operation Chariot - 1942 (Pen & Sword Books, 2006, collection Battleground Europe).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]

A British-American team filming in Sant-Nazer about Mick Burn's life

The team came to Saint-Nazaire end of March 2010. To the invitation of the Irishman James Dorrian, the CREDIB followed the film team who had come for the last shots on Breton ground for a documentary film about Micky Burn's life, a hero of the Operation Chariot.

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
