I've read Conduct Unbecoming - an amazing book.
There is a memorial here in Alberta at a campground belonging to the Sarcee Indian tribe dedicated to a rifleman in the Royal Winnipeg Rifles killed in Normandy. It is a simple plaque and stone, well off the beaten path. I've always wondered about the soldier memorialized there - or if he was friends with the murdered POWs.
Mark - the interesting thing about the RWR photo you posted is that the soldier with the RWR cap badge is actually wearing a British GS bonnet rather than a Canadian beret (sorry, don't mean to trivialize the conversation, but that has always stood out about that photo).
Will look forward to reading more about this important chapter of Canadian history.
