This heliport was named in honour of W/C J.H.L. (Joe) Lecomte. It is one of only three military aerodromes in Canada to be named after an individual; Moose Jaw Air Vice Marshal C.M. McEwen Airport (47005-015) and Cold Lake/Group Captain R.W. McNair Airport (48017-025) being the others.

This monument is intended to pay homage not only to the war dead, but also to the survivors. It therefore complements the post office monument in order to honour all those who deserve it. Somewhat ironically, the monument commemorating the war dead stands in a busy and crowded place, whereas the one honouring the survivors is located in the La Tuque catholic cemetery.

This monument to our valiant comrades killed in action was first installed in Saint-Eugène Park when it was unveiled in 1946, but it was moved near the post office in 1958 because of construction work in the park. The names of those brave soldiers are engraved on it for a long time and it is there that the veterans lay flowers in commemoration each year on Remembrance Day.

Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry was founded for service in the First World War on August 10, 1914, and paraded for the first time at Lansdowne Park, Ottawa, Ontario, on August 23, 1914. Hamilton Gault, a prominent Montreal businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds, making the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry the last privately raised regiment in Canada.

In 1913, this land passed into the hands of Brigadier Andrew Hamilton Gault. He built a large stone house named ‘Gault House’ on the shore of the lake in 1957. Once it was finished, he lived there a mere three weeks before he died on 28 November 1958. The house still exists today and is used as a reception hall. 

Brigadier Gault donated his land to McGill University and a cairn on the property was dedicated in his honour. In keeping with his wishes, the beauties and amenities of the land are preserved for learning. McGill University has created 1,000 hectares of natural environment in the St. Lawrence Valley. In 2000, the Gault Estate was officially renamed the Gault Nature Reserve.

This memorial is dedicated to the memory of Fort Chambly.
