Burial/memorial information
Son of Théophile Hens and Célina Barron, of Montréal, Québec. He stated being born in 1897 when he enlisted.
Baptized “Théophile” Hens, this was his only first name. He enlisted under the alias “Albert” Hens, possibly to hide his enlistment to his family;
this seems to be corroborated by the fact that a delegation of pay to his mother did not take effect until after his departure for overseas.
