50049 Pte. Marshall Pizzey Canadian Army Royal Hamilton Light Infantry These two photos taken at Stalag IX C where my Uncle Pte. Marshal Pizzey was held as a POW from 1942 to 1945 This was photo taken in Hastings, England 1942 just before the Dieppe raid. The sailor is named Bob, he was Ann's foster brother. Marshal was with the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry at the Dieppe Raid August 19, 1942. He was wounded by shrapnel on the beach. There is German film footage (available through the War Amps of Canada called "Dieppe Don't Call It a Failure") of him being helped off the beach by two other soldiers. He was sent to the Dieppe hospital where he received initial treatment by the French nuns there. He was then transfered by train to the hospital in Rouen, France for further treatment (the shrapnel hit him in the head, places about his body and a bad wound to his left ankle). From Rouen he was sent to Stalag IX C to work in the salt mines there. He along with his fellow POW's were marched out of the camp heading for Checoslovakia. His ankle injury flaired up and at first they put him on a cart but later left him in a barn to be found by the US Army.
