Photo of Georges Bolduc
Sgt Georges Bolduc (Régiment de la Chaudière) transferred to the Royal 22e Régiment as a private. My father Gabriel Grondin wrote in his diary on October 8, 1943: "I'm leaving for Africa with Jean-Roch (his brother) and Ti-Georges Bolduc...". Note: On the back of this photo sent to Yolande Grondin, my father's sister, it says: "21 July 1943, Somewhere abroad, from your devoted Georges". -
