Spr. Henry Joseph "Duke" Leduc
Canadian Army 11th Field Company RCE CASF Royal Canadian Engineers
from:Windsor, Ontario
My father, Henry Leduc was captured at Dieppe. While in a Stalag he changed places with another French and English speaking prisoner from Montreal Quebec. This other soldier needed to work in the orchard where my Dad was in order to escape. Everything went as planned and the escapee made his way back to England and eventually back to Montreal.
At the same time my father was pronounced missing and he lived under the name of the man from Montreal. My father continued to write to my mother using this man's name but she was careful not to tell anyone for fear of "Loose lips sinking ships". A-20336 Sapper Henry Joseph (Duke) Leduc served with the 11th Field Company, Royal Canadian Engineers during WW2.
