Arseneau Bertrand
Will not take army discharge Army life may become tiresome to many soldiers but there are a host of others who hate to leave the county's services even when they are given their honorable discharge after a period of service. One of the latter class is Rifleman Bertrand Arseneau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Arseneau, Campbellton. Over a year ago, he joined the Royal Rifles of Canada when that unit recruited at Matapedia. He served in Newfoundland and more recently had been stationed with the regiment at Valcartier and the Citadel, Quebec City. In one of the periodical medical check-ups he was informed that an ear ailment meant his service was over. Not to be discharged thus easily he appealed to his commanding officer, who took the matter up with higher authorities. It is possible he may obtain a transfer to Military District Number 7, at one of the training centres, and he returned to Quebec last week to see if he couldn't have the issue put through. He has been engaged as adriver with the Royal Rifles and hopes there may be some vacancies in this calling that he may fill. |
