Pte. David Tsubota

Canadian Army The Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment

Private David Tsubota, The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, participated in the disastrous Dieppe Raid with a company of his regiment, 110 members, of which only 44 men returned. Tsubota was taken prisoner and was sent to Stalag 8b. He was a POW until liberated by Allied troops in 1945.

His father, James Jitsuei Tsubota, served in the Canadian Army in WW I and was at the Battle of Vimy Ridge. He also served in WW II as a Canadian Army Warrant Officer at the School of Oriental and African Studies where he was a Japanese language instructor for the British Army.

My source of information is a book by Roy Ito, We Went to War, The Story of Japanese Canadians who served during the First and Second World Wars; Canada's Wings Inc., Stittsville, Ontario, Canada, 1984.
