After they were liberated they were flown to Brussels where they were stripped down, de-loused, and showered. The liberated POWs then were dined, issued new battle dress and flown home.
Buxton concluded that the happiness of getting back into the bosom of his family was marred by the announcement by his bank manager that a substantial portion of his pay had been taken to honour chits which had been given out by the senior British Officer in the camps to buy food on the black market to augment food which should have been supplied by the Italians and Germans.
Following the end of the war, Buxton joined the civilian workplace. He immigrated to Canada in 1958 and eventually ended up on Vancouver Island.
Buxton now resides in Nanaimo and continues to be a staunch supporter of many Military Associations.
He also contributes to the development of Canada's future by proudly supporting 205 Collishaw Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron.
Ronald E. Buxton died in Nanaimo on 30 May, 2007.
