I actually have quite a bit of information regarding the death of Rfn Frederick Smith along with 18 other members of the Rifles on the grounds of the Chateau de Audrieu, 8 June 1944 and on the other deaths of Canadian POWs in Normandy.
Unfortunately, some of my material is outdated, since originally, your Uncle was posted Killed in Action, 8 June 1944, at Putot-en-Bessin and not as one of the POWs who were murdered. This information as only come to light within the last few years and I think, Conduct Unbecoming, is the only publication to date, in print, that contains the corrected information regarding the details of your Uncle's death.
Geoff: Thanks for the post regarding the book.
Cheers

MARK,
If and when you have time again (knowing how very busy you are these days
) do you happen to have any information in all your RWR papers on another of the soldiers who was executed with the same group as my uncle???

I've been contacted by a close relative of this soldier who is searching for information, and am trying to help as I can, including going through whatever information I've got to share.
Thanks in advance if there's anything at all you can add to her information.
Karmen.
