Frank Herbert Dedrick Pickersgill (May 28, 1915 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada – September 14, 1944 in Weimar, Thuringia, Germany) is a Canadian hero of World War II. Pickersgill graduated from Kelvin High School in Winnipeg. Holding an English degree from the University of Manitoba and a Masters degree in Classics from the University of Toronto, Pickersgill had originally set out to cycle across Europe, and then returned to Europe in 1938 to work as freelance journalist for several Canadian newspapers. During his travels he met with Jean-Paul Sartre, whose work he had hoped to translate into English though the oncoming war distracted his labours.
