  • Photo of Ernest Jolicoeur– Ernest Jolicoeur (1892-1915) of the 13th Battalion, Royal Highlanders of Canada. Son of Télésphore Jolicoeur & Elmina Bédard. Born in Ottawa, Ontario on 31 August 1892. He joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 24 September 1914. In the fall of 1914, he was promoted to sergeant. This photo appears to date from that time. As of 15 March 1915 he reverted to the ranks at his own request, in the field, in France. On 15 July 1915, the 13th Battalion was at Ploegstreet and its War Diary indicates that Private E. Jolicoeur was accidentally shot in the head and died of wounds an hour later.
