You mention that he ended up in Germany, so you may want to also have a look at the War Diary for Serial 4030 - 3rd Battalion, The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders (Canadian Army Occupation Force)
Reference: RG24, National Defence, Series C-3, Volume 15274
(for the period 1945/06-1945/11)
Reference: RG24, National Defence, Series C-3, Volume 15275
(for the period 1945/12-1946/05)
Unfortunately, you have to go to Library & Archives Canada in Ottawa to view the above mentioned files.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
