He was murdered by Waffen-SS soldiers having surrendered and dressed as an army chaplain at the time of capture. HistoryWalter Brown was born in Peterborough, Ontario on 13 August 1910,[1] to English-born parents George Carmichael Brown and Florence May Brown (nee Peters), although the family later settled in Orillia, Ontario.[2] He had two brothers.[3] Reverend Brown (an alumnus of Huron University College) was already an ordained and practising minister,[4] before he volunteered for service in the Canadian Army as part of the Canadian Chaplain Service[5] on 1 April 1941 in Toronto, Ontario. He was eventually attached to an armoured regiment (the 27th Armoured Regiment (The Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment)) slated to land early on D-Day[6] and he was therefore one of the first Canadian Military Chaplains to land in Normandy on Juno Beach on 6 June 1944.[7] Walter Brown was murdered (by bayonetting),[8] after surrendering to members of the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend on 6 June.[9][10] He was the only allied military chaplain to suffer this fate, although several were killed and wounded in action in World War II.[11][12] The Hitlerjugend Waffen SS were notoriously brutal[13] and murdered several Canadian Prisoners of War in the early stages of the Normandy Campaign (see Ardenne Abbey massacre).[14] His body was eventually recovered on 11 July 1944 and he was buried along with other Canadian servicemen in the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery in Normandy, France.[15] Walter Brown was awarded the following medals posthumously: the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, the War Medal, the Defence Medal and the France and Germany Star. The medals were passed to his parents.[16] See Also
