Dollard Ménard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brigadier General Dollard Ménard (March 7, 1913 – January 14, 1997) was a Canadian general who, as a Lieutenant Colonel, was wounded five times during the Dieppe Raid in 1942 while leading Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal. He was later awarded a Distinguished Service Order.
In 1993, he was made a Grand Officer of the National Order of Quebec.
[edit] Medals for sale
In 2005, a member of his family put his medals up for auction. This raised considerable media attention due to the risk of the medals being purchased by non-Canadians. Quebec philanthropist Ivonis Mazzarolo, paid $40,000 to keep the medals in Canada. [1]
