Biographical history
Arnold Dales, originally from Duff, Saskatchewan, was a long-time citizen of Indian Head, serving as town councillor and mayor. He was a member of a Lancaster bomber crew that was shot down near the Dutch-German border. He was badly injured, including a severely broken leg. Treated in a German war hospital, he went to a POW camp until the end of the war. Arnold Dales spent countless hours developing and operating the Indian Head Museum.
Custodial history
Scope and content
Two copies of a homemade 118-page book written by Arnold Dales about his time in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII. 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.
