Burial/memorial information
The life of Luc-Antoine Lamblin is an example of pride and family resiliency. He grew up in a rich family of seven children in Ronchin, France, and, following the father’s death, and a reversal of fortune, they lost the family estate. To rebuild a better future, the mother immigrated from France to Canada, with the eldest daughter (Marie-Estelle) and two sons (Antoine and Luc). They arrived in Québec on 23 June 1910, heading toward Manitoba. Three years later, another son (Robert) joined them, with his wife and children. The three brothers applied on the Dominion Lands Manitoba Homestead Grant for settlement in Western Canada, with the intent of farming. The war changed their plans and Luc died in service. His land grant was approved in 1918, four months after he died.
