Hello Clive,
I am the nephew of L/Cpl. George Pollard of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders. My uncle was murdered on June 17, 1944, at the Abbaye d'Ardenne at the hands of German soldiers under the command of Major- General Kurt Meyr of the 25th Panzer Grenadier Regiment. His body is the only one not found out of the twenty Canadian soldiers killed at the Abbaye.Sincerely,

Hi Gregory ... and welcome to you and the others in this thread!!!

I picked your post to reply to because I just wanted to say to you how very sorry I am to hear that your Uncle shared the same fate as mine, but in another spot and group by the Fontenay le Pesnel Rd with 35 others with him on June 8th. Mohnke is said to be the culprit responsible for my Uncles group, rather than Meyer. The Abbey events are awful from what I can remember Sometimes the events blur together of all the ones that happened in Normandy between D-Day and the 17th for me.

... and I'm also really sorry to hear that your Uncle's remains were never recovered for a proper burial and sendoff ... and visiting by family and friends.

Clive, Gregory, and Hugh ... I hope you find a lot of the answers you're hoping to find. I'm sure you'll find a lot in here, or through here.
