Burial/memorial information
Upon his arrival in France on 28 September 1916, Damase Dubé had been assigned to the 22nd Battalion. He was wounded to the hip at Vimy on 13 April 1917 and spent seven month in England to recover. When he returned in France, he spent three months with reinforcements and re-joined the 22nd Battalion in mid-February 1918. Then, after the creation of the Canadian Machine Gun Corps, an elite formation, he volunteered and was transferred with them on 1 May. Four months later, he was killed in action during the Canadian Corps offensive on the Drocourt-Quéant line, East of Arras.
