Default MARK: Your Questions

Carman;

Does 'Conduct Unbecomimg' mention the deaths of
the 19 members of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles that
occured on the grounds of the Chateau de Audrieu,
on the afternoon of 8 June 1944, between approx. 2
and 5 pm.? I'm curious.
Cheers
========================
Mark:

In chapter 8 of `Conduct Unbecoming’ the chapter is
entitles `THE BREMER MURDERS’ and I think
probably has all the info on those men., the 19 men were
out of the original group of 24, and the
Video Take No Prisoners also covers the murders,
includes timelines, photos, footage of the `spots’.

(I haven’t read it yet-just scanned)
It mentions 24 Canadian and 2 British POWS

Men were first taken in groups of 3 (out of the group of 24)
and interrogated then executed in various spots around the
Chateau, the first 3 men being Major Hodge, LC Austin Fuller,
and Private Frederick Smith.

page 87: A group of specifically `19’ men were murdered at Bremers headquarters at the Chateau.
If I read properly, the 19 men's executions began about 2:30 and ended about 4:30.

That help?
