Books photos about executed POWS June 1944

[Mark W. Tonner]

Hi Carman;

I actually have quite a bit of information regarding the death of Rfn Frederick Smith along with 18 other members of the Rifles on the grounds of the Chateau de Audrieu, 8 June 1944 and on the other deaths of Canadian POWs in Normandy.

Unfortunately, some of my material is outdated, since originally, your Uncle was posted Killed in Action, 8 June 1944, at Putot-en-Bessin and not as one of the POWs who were murdered. This information as only come to light within the last few years and I think, Conduct Unbecoming, is the only publication to date, in print, that contains the corrected information regarding the details of your Uncle's death.

Geoff: Thanks for the post regarding the book.

Cheers
