- Flight Lieutenant Henry Cowan, R.C.A.F., of Trout River, Quebec, was reported missing after air operations and officially presumed dead on April 19, 1945, according to an official announcement. He enlisted in the air force in Toronto on October 8, 1941, and trained as a pilot at St. Hubert, Victoriaville, Cap de la Madeleine and St. Hubert, where he graduated on July 1, 1942, and received his commission as a pilot officer. Flight Lieutenant Cowan took advanced training at Summerside, Prince Edward Island, and went overseas in October 1942, being posted first to the Coastal Command and later to the 402 (City of Winnipeg) Squadron of the Fighter Command. He was promoted to the rank of flying officer in January 1943 and one year later was promoted to flight lieutenant. While on operations over England, he had shot down a flying bomb. After his squadron was transferred to Belgium and Holland in September 1944, he shot down a Fokke Wulf 170 in an engagement over Osnabrueck, Germany, and was credited a few days after with “one damaged and one probably destroyed” after a fight over Lingen. His plane was discovered to be missing during an air operation. He was presented with the golden wings and a special posthumous citation from R.C.A.F. headquarters, in Ottawa. Flight Lieutenant Cowan was born December 31, 1920, in Dinslaken-on-the-Niederrhein, Germany.

- Jon Dlusy was born Yonah Dlusniewski on October 29, 1927 in Berlin, Germany, to Polish parents. They had moved to Germany in 1919, living in the Charlottenburg area of Berlin. There, his father had established a clothing manufacturing business. Jon had an older brother who later worked for the Canadian Air Force and got killed in Scotland in 1944 returning from an operation. In May 1938, Jon’s father decided to leave Germany because of the increasing antisemitism. They obtained visas for Belgium and fled Germany, leaving everything behind. They stayed in Antwerp for about four months, waiting for the Canadian visas. Once they received them, they immigrated to Montreal via Liverpool and Halifax. They already had family in Canada. They lived in Outremont. Jon is now retired. His mother lived until 101 years old.

- Robert Exiner was born on March 2, 1916 in Berlin, Germany. His father was in the clothing business and his mother helped him. They were a middle-class family and lived well. Robert was an only child, though he had an older brother who died before he was born. His family was not strictly religious; however, he had had a bar mitzvah. Robert identified as a German who happened to be Jewish. He attended a private preschool for three years before moving to a French gymnasium that focused on Liberal Arts. He graduated when he was 18, in 1934. After graduating he could not go to university since he was Jewish. A textile college accepted him, not for the regular two-year course but for the six-month course. He did four. He was not ready to leave Germany. During this time his father died. Robert was a member of the Iron Front, a Nationalist organization. They were dissolved, but carried on illegally for a year in Upper Silesia before being caught. He spent a night in an SS cell after which he decided to leave Germany. He had had a visa to Australia, but that had expired. He managed to get another one and left for Australia in July 1938. He spent three months in Sydney before moving on to Melbourne, where he found nightshift work in a ribbon factory. When the war broke out in 1939 he volunteered for and joined the army. Eventually he was made an assistant in the medical hut, trained for the medical core, and then ran a depot specializing in the prevention of venereal diseases. After the war, Robert found work running a factory, handling the business side. He stayed there until he retired at age 70. During this time he married a dancer/dance teacher who ran a dance studio. They had two sons. He regrets not having been able to go to university when he was younger and pursue an academic career, but he did obtain his M.A. at the age of 76. Now he gives lectures in Melbourne, volunteers for a classical music station and plays the recorder twice a week with difference groups.
