Burial/memorial information
His mother passed away when he was young and he was raised by his maternal uncle, Alphonse Michaud; that explains why he enrolled and served as Hormisdas Michaud.
He served for two years with the 11th Regiment. Enlisted in the 22nd Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, he arrived in Plymouth, England on 29 May 1915, then in Boulogne, Pas-de-Calais, France, on the following 15 September. He was wounded in action on 25 September 1916 in the left eye, and shot a second time in the left arm on 7 November 1917. He was killed in action on 28 May 1918 in hand-to-hand combat during an assault on a German trench east of Boisleux-Saint-Marc, near Mercatel, France.
He served as Hormisdas Michaud and he is also commemorated on page 470 of the First World War Book of Remembrance.
