	John Kenneth Macalister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, fluent in the French language, John Macalister volunteered for the Special Operations Executive F Section where as an agent in France, his thick glasses would actually add to his disguise.
		Together with fellow Canadian, Frank Pickersgill, John Macalister was parachuted into occupied France on June 20, 1943 to work as wireless operator for the "Archdeacon" network in the Ardennes area.
		Unable to get anything of value from him, the security forces shipped John Macalister, along with Frank Pickersgill and Roméo Sabourin to Buchenwald concentration camp on August 27, 1944.

		On Sept. 15, alumni veterans from the Soldiers' Tower Committee and members of 2 Intelligence Company of the Canadian Forces honoured John Kenneth Macalister (BA 1937) and Frank Pickersgill (MA 1939) with a brief ceremony at Soldiers' Tower.
		Pickersgill, trapped by the war while bicycling around Europe and imprisoned in a labour camp with other enemy aliens, had already escaped the Nazis once.
		They refused, and Pickersgill nearly managed to escape again, disabling one guard with a bottle, rushing others and throwing himself out of a second-storey window onto a Paris street, where he was shot and recaptured.

		The two men were tortured by the Gestapo, who wanted them to pretend to still be free, and so encourage more SOE personnel to parachute in and be captured.
		Pickersgill never gave up hope of escape, at one point disabling a guard with a bottle and leaping out a second story window, before SS guards shot him four times and recaptured him.
		Buchenwald survivors said Pickersgill continued to try to keep his fellow captives' spirits up to the very end, telling bad jokes and encouraging them to march in step like soldiers.
