Research Notes
Final QA complete. Lorenzo Lemieux, Private 3168852, was drafted under the Military Service Act. He was born 4 June 1897 at Sainte-Martine, Quebec; was a married Roman Catholic farmer living at Saint-Rémi, Quebec; his wife Leonie Lemieux was next of kin; and the recruit form records no previous military or naval service. He attested at Montreal on 22 July 1918. The casualty form states that he enlisted and that service reckons from 22 July 1918. His Medical History Sheet records examination at Montreal on 30 August 1918, age 21, height 5 ft 6 in, weight 146 lb, chest 33-37 in, brown complexion, brown eyes and brown hair, good physical development, vision 80/80 and hearing 20/20, Category A. It also records joined 22 July 1918 and identifies the 2nd Depot Battalion, 2nd Quebec Regiment. The handwritten casualty-form entry concerns the demobilization/administrative process, but its order-reference details are not sufficiently legible to transcribe reliably; no unsupported reading has been inserted. The index card explicitly records SOS 10 February 1919, reason demobilization. The French demobilization notice was prepared at Montreal on 5 February and directed him to report on or before 10 February; his renunciation was signed 10 February. Related receipt/order forms document the administrative completion of the process. The structured discharge/SOS date is therefore 10 February 1919. No overseas service, hospital admission, POW event, promotion, combat event, disciplinary event, or explicit medal award is supported by the surviving 18-page file.
