"Dr. Fairweather and Mr. Veness's wartime heroics were the subject of a 1954 book, The Two Jacks: The Amazing Adventures of Major Jack M. Veness and Major Jack L. Fairweather. The Canadians were with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders when Canadians landed on the Normandy coast on D-Day. The men battled the Germans for days before they were captured and sent to a German prison camp in France.
Their adventures with the French underground began after they escaped by jumping from a railway car near the city of Tours. The Canadians found refuge in a church, and a priest put them in touch with a French resistance leader named Georges Lecoze. In truth, his name was Georges Dubosq and he was a ruthless career criminal."
