Crucifixion of an officer at Ypres, 1915.?

Question

In Generals Die in Bed, Charles Yale Harrison claims that, in Ypres, in 1915, one canadian officer was crucified to a barn door with a [German] "bayonet through each hand and one through his feet".
Is the story true?
If so, who was it, by whom and for what reason?
Have that kind of things actually been reported or were they fabrications of the press/ propaganda.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Harry Banks, born 16 March 1896 in Yorkshire, England (although other sources suggest that his name was "Harry Band" and that he was born in Montrose, Scotland in August, 1885), was an Allied soldier serving in the Canadian Army who may have been crucified with bayonets or combat knives on a barn door or a tree, while fighting on the Western Front during World War I.

Three witnesses said they saw an unidentified crucified Canadian soldier near the battlefield of Ypres, Belgium on or around April 24, 1915 but there was no conclusive proof such a crucifixion actually occurred. The eyewitness accounts were somewhat contradictory, no crucified body was found, and no knowledge was uncovered at the time about the identity of the supposedly-crucified soldier.

Answer 2

that is the period that the second battle of Ypres take place . In the battle the Canadian troops put up a very stiff resistance against the Germans. It is possible that there was a war crime committed in revenge. But it also possible that is a propaganda stunt
