Dales was a bomber navigator whose plane was shot down over Winterswijk, the Netherlands, on February 21, 1945. He had a broken leg and when that was mended by German medical staff, he was placed in a POW camp near the Danish border. A month later, the war had ended and he was able to return to Canada. He was a real estate agent in Indian Head, mayor of Indian Head and a key person in the creation of the Indian Head Museum.
