209046 Jacques Buteau Canadian Army Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal from:St-Lambert Jacques Buteau was a prisoner of war after the Dieppe invasion. He was first taken to Stalag VIIIB. After 18 months in various camps he escaped with 2 others - one named Mr Frazier, who I had the fortune of meeting at my father's funeral in 2004. They first lived in a ditch hiding for 3 weeks eating raw potatoes from the fields. They decided it was time to move on and stole a bugy with 2 horses. After meeting with Russian troops they were told they had to turn around and eventually reached the American front where the nightmare was finally over for them
