Burial/memorial information
Son of Alexis Montambault and Marie Reine Dufresne of Deschambault, Portneuf, Quebec. During the First World War, Alexis was conscripted into the Canadian army under the Canadian Military Service Act of 1917. He was enrolled on 30 May 1918 in the 2nd Quebec Regiment, regimental number 3281754, and was demobilized on 19 August 1918 without ever having taken part in the conflict.
On 10 December 1941 the Nereus, which left St Thomas, in the Virgin Islands, with ore, was sailing alone when it disappeared at sea. No German submarine claimed to have sunk her. Her wreckage has never been found. Sometimes coal boats accidentally caught fire from coal residue accumulated in the hold.
