I came across this site while searching for information on some family members. Antoine Lazure was my great-grandfather. Do you happen to have any more information on him other than what is here?
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in responding. You can order a copy of his military service file from Library and Archives Canada here. Beyond that, I don't know of any other sources of information on him, but his service file would be the most detailed.
Thanks,
Ken
