Rowe was seriously injured in the Hochwald, Germany. With a gunshot wound to the head, unconscious and with minimal heart rate, he was initially treated at the No 10 Field Ambulance and the No 18 Canadian Field Ambulance Advanced Dressing Station. But the doctors there could not do enough for him. The next day Wilbert was transferred to the No 6 Canadian General Hospital in Sint-Michielsgestel, located in the Institute for the Deaf. Doctors who specialized in neurosurgery were present here.
But the brain surgeons could not heal the gunshot wound in Wilbert's head. Wilbert Berton Rowe died on March 5, 1945. He was nineteen years old.
