206625 Gnr. Maurice Chevrier Lalonde Canadian Expeditionary Force 46th Btn. Saskatchewan Regiment from:2,1406 Barclay St. Vancouver, British Columbia. (d.6th Apr 1918) Maurice Lalonde was the youngest of three brothers, all of whom joined up in the Great War with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Maurice was my Uncle, he joined the 49th University Canadians and then served with the 46th Btn. Saskatchewan Regiment and was in charge of a machine gun crew of three men, sadly they all lost their lives together during the Battle for Arras in France. He is buried in Rochlincourt, France where his grave is perpetually cared for. His brothers, both members of the RFC then the RAF, survived the war and returned to Canada. Leon Arthur Lalonde one of the brothers was my father. Additional Information: Have been reading my grandfathers letters from the Great War and he received word in MAY 1918 that Maurice Lalonde had been killed. Word came from North Vancouver. Do not know what the connection was. Have enjoyed reading articles written by his nephew.
