Burial/memorial information
Baptized Joseph-Joachim Gaudreau. Son of Joachim Gaudreau (deceased in 1900) and Philomène Lavallée, of Montmagny and Québec (St-Malo). He stated being born in 1894 when he enlisted and for an unknown reason, he would not use his second name “Joachim” but replaced it for “Arthur”.
Enlisted in the 167th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, he was incorporated into the 189th Battalion on July 16, 1916. He sailed for Great Britain on September 23 and landed in Liverpool, England, on October 6. Upon arrival, he transferred to the 69th Reserve Battalion. On the 27th, he was transferred to the 22nd Battalion and sent to France the next day, where he landed in Boulogne, Pas-de-Calais. On November 21, he was loaned to the 2nd Canadian Entrenchment Battalion and injured his left wrist on December 5, 1916.
After more than one month serving at the front with the 22nd Battalion, he was evacuated in England, on 13 December 1916, due to a synovitis to his wrist. He was also diagnosed with the tuberculosis. He was then repatriated and admitted to the Sanatorium du Lac-Édouard, in Mauricie, Québec, for treatments, but he died there eight months later.
