Burial/memorial information
Hormidas Berthiaume was one of the original members of the 22nd Battalion and he had been part of many battles. Severely wounded on 14 August 1918 at the Battle of Amiens, he was evacuated to England and hospitalized during more than four months. On 15 January 1919, he was released form hospital on medical leave for ten days, but less than a week later, maybe due to the Spanish flu, he suffered a pneumonia and hospitalized at Endell Street Military Hospital, in London. Two days later, he died of acute appendicitis.
