Burial/memorial information
Son of Philippe Leblanc and Émélie Leblanc of Memramcook (both deceased in 1902). He had declared to be born on August 3rd, 1894 at the time of his enrolment and March 8th, 1895 on a medical document of 1918. He had also declared a man named ""Arcade Leblanc"" as his next of kin, brother and heir. However, the latter (son of Pierre Leblanc and Osité Leblanc, of College Bridge, near Memramcook) was more of a cousin or friend with whom he would have stayed after his parents' death.
Wallace was seriously wounded in one arm and one eye on April 2nd, 1918 in the front line trenches at Mercatel, France. He was evacuated shortly thereafter to England and during a months-long hospitalization was diagnosed with a heart condition and nephritis. He died of the combined effects of his wounds and diseases at No. 16 General Hospital in Orpington.
