Corporal J.C.M. Ladouceur was leading a patrol forward of the wire that surrounded his companys position on September 06, 1952 in Korea . He ordered his men to withdraw when a considerably larger enemy patrol threatened them, himself staying behind. He was seized by the enemy in an audible struggle. When a fighting patrol was sent to rescue him, he yelled a warning to his comrades not to come closer, that he had been captured and the enemy had set up an ambush. After an enormous firefight a daylight patrol found his identification tags, one of the gym shoes he had been wearing and signs that somebody had been dragged through the foliage. Still listed as MIA. I hope he can RIP as this is a true Canadian Hero.
