The following extract is recorded in the London Gazette Supplement No. 30903, dated 16th September 1918:- "For most conspicuous bravery and extraordinary devotion to duty when in charge of a Lewis gun section in the front line trenches, in which a strong enemy raid was attempted. During an intense bombardment Corporal Kaeble remained at the parapet with his Lewis gun shouldered ready for action, the field of fire being very short. As soon as the barrage lifted from the front line, about fifty of the enemy advanced towards his post. By this time the whole of his section except one had become casualties. Corporal Kaeble jumped over the parapet, and holding his Lewis gun at the hip, emptied one magazine after another into the advancing enemy, and although wounded several times by fragments of shells and bombs, he continued to fire and entirely blocked the enemy by his determined stand. Finally, firing all the time, he fell backwards into the trench mortally wounded. While lying on his back in the trench he fired his last cartridges over the parapet at the retreating Germans, and before losing consciousness shouted to the wounded about him: "Keep it up, boys; do not let them get through! We must stop them !" The complete repulse of the enemy attack at this point was due to the remarkable personal bravery and self-sacrifice of this gallant non-commissioned officer, who died of his wounds shortly afterwards."
Joseph Kaeble was born on May 5th 1892 St. Moise, Matane County, Québec, and he enlisted on March 20th 1916 in Sayabec, Québec. He died aged 26 of wounds whilst fighting near Arras, and was buried in the Wanquetin Communal Cemetery Extension in Calais, France.

It is 100 years since Joseph Kane's death, and it upsets me to think that no one who knew him in life has ever been to visit his memorial listing at Tyne Cot. This feels so incredibly sad so during November 2017 his grandson William aged 82, great granddaughter Helena aged 52 from Australia and great great grandchildren Gabriella & Kurt will pay their respects.
If I can find more on his story I'll submit it here. Thank you for this site.
