Probably, as the Sqn ORB has him as Sgt D. Roberts (New Zealander).

Technically this interception wasn't part of the Dieppe raid; the bomber was making a routine coastal reconnissance off the English East coast when intercepted by the two Whirlwinds. Earlier during the morning anotehr patrol by 137 Sqn had claimed a Ju88 as damaged.
