Restoring Communication in the Country

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.
