About Dollard Ménard

  • Brigadier General Dollard Ménard (7 March 1913 – 14 January 1997) was a Canadian general.
  • 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.
