Paul Bullock joined the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada as Rifleman. He landed at Juno Beach on June 6th, 1944. On 17 June 1944, just days after D-Day, Bullock was captured near the village of Mouen. He fell into the hands of the 12th SS Panzer Division “Hitlerjugend,” a formation notorious for its brutality toward prisoners of war. Instead of being treated according to the laws of war, Bullock was executed at point-blank range by members of the division’s engineering battalion under SS Major Siegfried Müller. His death was part of a wider pattern of atrocities committed against Canadian soldiers in Normandy, where dozens of prisoners were murdered in cold blood.

Bullock’s body was later recovered and laid to rest in the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, France. His name is also inscribed in the Second World War Book of Remembrance in Ottawa.
