Notes
At medical examination on 22 August 1918 he was Category C1, 5 ft 2 in tall and 120 lb, with a 34–36 in chest, brown complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. The medical history contains a handwritten note referring to an old injury to the right hand. The preceding qualifying word is not sufficiently legible to transcribe confidently and is intentionally omitted.
Additional Service Notes
Drafted under the Military Service Act, Class One, and served in Canada with the 2nd Depot Battalion, 2nd Quebec Regiment at Montreal from August to September 1918.

Mother: Mrs. Emelia Leboeuf, St-Stanislas-de-Kostka, Quebec.
Research Notes
Alphonse Leboeuf was a Class One Military Service Act draftee. The explicit service records establish 22 August 1918 as his enlistment/service-start date: the casualty form says enlisted and service reckons from 22 Aug, and the medical history says joined on 22 Aug. The 15 July date at the bottom of the recruit form is retained only as an earlier calling-up/administrative date. He served in Canada with the 2nd Depot Battalion, 2nd Quebec Regiment. The regimental-documents jacket is stamped 'DESERTION', but the formal Proceedings on Discharge state that he was discharged at Montreal on 21 September 1918 for Demobilization, and the casualty form records S.O.S. on return to Registrar's Records. The formal discharge instrument therefore controls the structured discharge type: 1 (Normal/Demobilization). The desertion stamp is preserved as conflicting administrative evidence only. The medical history notes an old injury to the right hand; one preceding handwritten qualifier remains illegible and has not been guessed.
