Mjr. Réal Euclide "Buck" Liboiron DSO, CD.
Canadian Army Fusiliers Mont Royal
from:Ponteix, Saskatchewan
My father Réal Liboiron who served in WW2 as a Lieutenant in the Fusiliers Mont was wounded in action at Hoogerheide in Holland when a bullet from a German sniper grazed his face. Consequently he was out of action temporarily but was able to return to the battlefield following a two month convalescence.
He later went on to serve in Korea in the rank of Major in command of “D” company of the Royal 22cnd Regiment “Van Doos”. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his courage and leadership during the historic battle for Hill 355 in November 1951. He enjoyed the rare honour of having the DSO presented to him directly on the battlefield by General Guy Simmonds.
