Lieutenant René Archer Pelletier
This photo was taken somewhere in France in 1916 by my eventual Grandfather, Captain G. Stuart Ramsey. Captain Ramsey would later marry Rene's sister Juliette Pelettier, also a WWI veteran (Nursing Sister). They were the children of Riel Rebellion and South African War veteran Colonel Oscar Charles Casgrain Pelletier, and the grandchildren of Sir Charles E. Casgrain, lawyer, politician, senator, and lieutenant-governor of Quebec 1908-11.

Lieutenant René Archer Pelletier
This is a formal photo of Rene Pelletier and his sister Juliette, take n in November 1914. Rene Pelletier’s name appears in the regimental history and he was described as a courageous officer (from Regimental history of 14th Can. Inf.): “This satisfactory report was confirmed by Lieutenant R.A. Pelletier, of No 4 Coy, who returned to Battalion Headquarters Wounded. After his wounds dressed, Lieu. Pelletier insisted on rejoining his Company in the line. It would be agreeable to report that this brave officer survived but such was not the case. He fell before the day was ended. Pelletier had previously distinguished himself during the advance of the Royal Montreal Regiment on the morning of June 3rd 1916 and in the engagement now under review his courage and behavior had commanded the respect of all. His death, therefore, was a matter of deep regret to the 14th Battalion.”

CIMETIÈRE BRITANNIQUE DE CONTAY Somme, France
Contay est un village du département de la Somme situé sur la route principale allant d'Amiens à Arras. Le cimetière se trouve à gauche (au nord-est) de la route qui mène à Franvillers, et on y a accès sans difficulté. Il y a un panneau routier de la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth à côté de l'église et de la place du village et également près du panneau qui indique la route D23, la route de Franvillers à Corbie. La distance entre le panneau de la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth et le cimetière est de 650 mètres environ.
