Canadian soldiers wounded at Ypres had told how one of their officers had been crucified to a wall "by bayonets thrust through his hands and feet" before having another bayonet driven through his throat and, finally, "riddled with bullets". The soldiers said that it had been seen by the Dublin Fusiliers and that they had heard the Fusiliers' officers talking about it.
whether he has any information regarding the crucifixion of three Canadian soldiers recently captured by the Germans, who nailed them with bayonets to the side of a wooden structure?
Sir Robert Houston returned to the subject in the House of Commons, asking Harold Tennant:
"whether he has any official information showing that during the recent fighting, when the Canadians were temporarily driven back, they were compelled to leave about forty of their wounded comrades in a barn and that on recapturing the position they found the Germans had bayoneted all the wounded with the exception of a sergeant, and that the Germans had removed the figure of Christ from the large village crucifix and fastened the sergeant while alive to the cross; and whether he is aware that the crucifixion of our soldiers is becoming a practice of the Germans?"
—Sir Robert Houston, 19 May 1915
Tennant replied that the military authorities in France had standing instructions to send details of any authenticated atrocities committed against British troops, and that no official information had been received. He added that inquiries were being made, and were not yet complete.
Like the Angel of Mons appearing over the battlefield slaughter and the Christmas Day ceasefire, it has persisted in the popular imagination.
Even at the height of the war the German government lodged a protest over the allegation, demanding its withdrawal. In the wake of the 1919 peace treaty an inquiry concluded that it was a case of wartime hysteria and black propaganda.
Now a historian has unearthed eyewitness evidence and letters proving the crucified allied soldier did exist and was British by birth.
Sergeant Harry Band had emigrated to Canada in search of a better future only to die at the hands of German soldiers carrying out one of the first atrocities in a total war.
Iain Overton, a historian who uncovered the story, said: “This was a murder which stood out even among the horrors of the first world war. The image of a crucifixion caught people’s imaginations.

A typewritten note by a British nurse during the First World War adds weight to the story that a Canadian soldier was indeed crucified with bayonets on a barn door in France by German soldiers in 1915.
The note relates comments by Lance Corporal C.M. Brown to his nurse, Miss Ursula Violet Chaloner, daughter of the first Baron Gisborough. Cpl. Brown, apparently recovering from shell wounds, told Miss Chaloner about a Sergeant Harry Band, who "was crucified after a battle of Ypres on one of the doors of a barn with five bayonets in him."
The note, found in the Liddle Collection of war correspondence in Leeds University, is yet another piece in the puzzle surrounding one of the most famous, mysterious and vicious incidents of the First World War.
Harry‘s nieces and nephews still live in B.C. They have letters sent to his sister after his death, letters written by his comrades-in-arms, testifying he was killed on April 24 and revealing the terrible truth to the grieving relatives. "Harry was crucified," says one writer, "but whether he was alive at the time, I don‘t think anyone can say for sure."
The family is still convinced their uncle was murdered on that fateful April day. Jean Walsh, Harry‘s niece, is 79 and lives in Kelowna, B.C. "I knew about the crucifixion since when I was a child. My mother told me that Harry was crucified. I am horrified still. But it happened so many years ago that I can‘t keep being angry under those circumstances of war, even Canadians and English did things that were horrible under the stress."
Ritual killing has always been a part of human society. Two thousand years ago, the Celts of ancient Ireland performed ritual killings every spring, and archeologist Ned Kelly believes the perfectly preserved bog bodies he's found were, in fact, kings. Ritual killing is, sadly, not a thing of the past. Arn Chorn Pond tells his harrowing story of surviving Pol Pot's Cambodian genocide of the 1970s. He was forced to play the flute in the Killing Fields to distract the attention of people the Khmer Rouge was about to execute. Some ritual deaths are voluntary: Rio Di Angelo tells an insider's story of the Heaven's Gate Cult, who committed mass suicide in 1997.

To me, this clearly was an occult ritual, in order to provoke spirits and to, actually, the thought is, provide a sacrafice.
3 is a significant number in occult traditions. Infact, without it they couldn't exist at all. So is 5, the pentagram.
Although the case I'm about to put isn't any more rock solid than yours, I do agree, and encourage you to continue searching because I think you're right, there is certainly something to it.. and below is how you can start to prove it. By proving it was a ritual killing perhaps?

It's clear to me as a semi-experienced occultist. This rings extremely true with many of the occult SS operations. Infact, if i recall there is a building in Berlin, with even MORE harrowing stories than this. Of events that proceeded WW2, officers occupying the base would wake up to find their bed lifted in the air, vibrating.. you see where i'm going with this??
Yes, what a wonderful post. You may not see the mystical and occult similarities. And i do not try and make out whether it works or not. It is however no secret that the 3rd reich was a highly mystical and occult government. Even the Nazi Bell project was constructed by.. yup you guessed it, mediums, channelers, apparently.
Keep researching this because it's huger than maybe even you realise.
Amazing!
Thankyou so much!!! I loved this post..
I almost could guarantee Britain was involved in a cover up somehow. Did Mi5 even exist then? I wonder if this story bares the same similarities as the WW2 ritual killings

five bayonets in him.
how many points in a pentegram?
How many major points on a body are there, 5! Head arms 2 legs. right? Bet you that's how all these crucifixion ritualistic killings in Germany are. And I bet men were instructed to do it by the SS. It is also believed by recreating an event, you can summon that spirit.. I don't believe that necessarily personally though. It could be relevant to the clear occult indicators though. Purely documented Historical indicators this poster has so kindly gone to the trouble of putting together.
I know this stuff works, and is actually quite dangerous, although I don't expect people to "know" or "believe" - I do expect them to realise there are a lot of co-incidences at work. given that the NAZI obsession with occult and ritualistic traditions is documented in history. I hope, for naysayers it isn't too bigger leap. This sort of stuff merits, study of the most extreme kind..
Many wondered how the Germans actually managed to resist for so long, when fighting a battle on 2 fronts.. I wonder..... less
I will say again, this is truly most marvelous and excellent, well done!

You did a great job telling Sgt. Harry Band's story.
It comes off as a story of "The Crucified Soldier", I would think this was your goal when writing.
