Timeline

1913

Brigadier Dollard Ménard (7 March 1913 – 14 January 1997) was a senior officer in the Canadian Army.

1938

He served in India in the infantry, the cavalry and the tanks from 1938 to 1940 and took part in the Waziristan campaign.

1940

In March 1940, he was promoted to captain and joined the staff of the Inspector General for the East of Canada.

1942

As a lieutenant colonel, he was wounded five times during the Dieppe Raid in 1942 while leading Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal.

His story inspired a famous Canadian World War II poster Ce qu’il faut pour vaincre (What it takes to win).

He was later made a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order.

Since all of the other commanding officers were either killed or captured, he was the only commanding officer who had landed at Dieppe to return to Britain after the raid.

Upon graduation from the Royal Military College of Canada, student # 2290 in 1932, he received his lieutenant's commission in 1936 in the Royal 22e Régiment ("the Van Doos").

"While he commanded his battalion during the operation of Dieppe, on August 19, 1942, this officer gave evidence of the highest qualities of courage and of initiative. He was wounded at the beginning of the raid, as he landed with the first groups of assault, but he continued to steer the operations of his unit by wireless telegraphy, under a fire fed by machine guns, by mortars and by artillery. Later, with the aim of reaching a more favourable position, he dragged himself up to a high point of the ground, but he was again wounded. Even after having been transported aboard a landing barge, and although wounded for the fifth time, he continued to insist on organizing the defense against planes, and taking care of his men. He put an example which is in the best tradition of the Army and was an inspiration for all the officers and the privates of his battalion."

1958

He was commanding officer of the East Sector of Quebec, which included amongst others Camp Valcartier from 1958 to 1962.

He insisted that all units under his command with a francophone majority use French for drill and parade orders.

1962

He was posted to Army Headquarters, Ottawa, in 1962, to work with Major-General Arthur Wrinch, who was Major-General Survival.

1965

He remained at Army Headquarters until he retired in 1965.

1994

In 1994, he was made a Grand Officer of the National Order of Quebec.

His citation for the Order of the Army reads:

1997

Aged 83, Ménard died on 14 January 1997.

2005

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.
