The soldier became suspicious after Janssens&#8217; answers about his service weren&#8217;t consistent with his medals, police said.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation revealed Janssens also took part in a similar ceremony in nearby Newtonville on Nov. 8 and at the Bowmanville Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11, police said.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>In January, David Dodd, former co-sergeant-at-arms of the Peterborough, Ontario legion, made false claims on the Princess Patricia&#8217;s Canadian Light Infantry Association Facebook group. He claimed to be a former member of the regiment and said a female soldier died in his arms during combat overseas and that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n<p>But Dodd was never a member of the regiment, never served overseas and wasn&#8217;t entitled to wear the military medals he&#8217;d been photographed with at local legion events.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since it was the police who told the reporter about Janssens, I have to assume that he&#8217;s facing charges, but Dodd apologized to his legion commander and they let it go. He&#8217;ll probably back at it.
