Burial/memorial information
Baptized Joseph-Alfred-Arthur Ostiguy. Son of Honoré Ostiguy-dit-Domingue and Mathilde Forgues (deceased in 1914), of Montréal (St-Henri), Québec. He stated being born in 1878 when he enlisted. His last name was misspelled “Dominique” on some military documents.
Arthur Domingue arrived in France on 28 June 1918 and joined the 22nd Battalion on 6 August. Being older than average and frail, he was referred to the medical authorities, who declared him unfair for infantry. On 28 October, he was deployed to the Canadian Labour Pool and one month later, he was transferred to England for follow-up care. He was found unfit for service and repatriated. He returned to Canada on 2 February 1919 and three days later, he was admitted urgently to the Presbyterian College Military Hospital, in Montréal. He died on the 7th of pulmonary tuberculosis.
