Czechoslovakia Lt Col FJ Havel

[Peter Case]

I am researching Lt Colonel Frank Joseph Havel (this is his western name). His actual name is Nadporuč?k Franti?ek Havel born 29.1.1921 in the Czech village of Tvarozna and died 27. 8. 2001 in Sudbury Ontario Canada. Frank was my neighbour for years but I never found out in detail what he had done during the war. He talked very little , but I do know that in his home town they erected a statue in his honor and that Frank was decorated for various acts of bravery. I also understand that he fought with the French , British and eventually the Canadians.

I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can give me to try and piece together his military life.

Thanks
