Burial/memorial information
Upon his arrival in France, Ernest was assigned to serve with the 22nd Battalion, but he never joined this unit. From the reinforcement camp, he was reassigned to the 24th Battalion, an Anglophone unit, and it’s possible that he was able to speak English and had lived in the United States when he was young.
At the time of his death, he was buried in the Villers-Bretonneux cemetery, but his grave was not located later and his name was therefore inscribed on the Vimy Memorial.
