Restoring Communication in the Country
Heroes Remember
The main reason why the Sigs regiment were there,
we were there to get communication running
again in the country because they had,
they cut everything.
All the power lines were cut,
there was no phone between,
you know, cities. No communication.
So the six months we were there,
the Sig regiment,
we established the communication,
that was our main goal there.
When I got there, General Dallaire was there.
General Dallaire is a man that
I truly admire, is a great, great man.
And he was happy to see us there,
at least Canadian.
He had other nations with him over
there but they were not Canadian.
He wanted to be with Canadian so
we worked with General Dallaire a lot.
I tried to help him in his
administration and stuff,
so my daily work was every morning,
I used to go down to the
UNAMIR headquarter where he
was about, oh maybe, it was maybe
a mile from our place and
see if he needed anything done and
bring the things back to our place.
