Robert Ross Munro, OBE, OC (September 6, 1913 - June 21, 1990) was the Canadian Press's lead war correspondent in Europe in World War II. He covered a Canadian raid in Spitsbergen, the 1942 raid on Dieppe, the Allied landings in Sicily, the Italian campaign, D-Day and the campaign in Northwestern Europe. His memoirs of the campaigns, published as ''From Gauntlet to Overlord'', won the Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction in 1945. He later covered the Korean War, and after retiring as a war correspondent became publisher of the ''Vancouver Daily Province'', the ''Winnipeg Tribune'', and the ''Edmonton Journal''. Munro was appointed OBE in 1946 and OC in 1975.〔David Twiston Davies. (Canada from Afar: the Daily Telegraph Book of Canadian Obituaries ). Dundurn Press, 1996. 187-189.〕
