Interesting Facts

  • Son of Octave and Leda Pepin, of Eastview, Ontario.

    "Cpl Minor of "A" Coy today told a story that would suggest that one of Jerry's infamous atrocities has been practiced on a member of this unit. During "A" Coy's attack yesterday, Cpl Minor had occasion to enter a Jerry tunnel under the road, and in a dugout off this tunnel, he and some of his men saw the body of an Algonquin hanging. His pants were torn, his boots and socks gone, and his feet appeared to have been lacerated. Circumstances prevented a close inspection and later none of the section could say how he was hanging, but all those who saw the body, say that it definitely was hanging.

    After an investigation it became clear that L/Cpl Pepin stepped on a German booby-trap." (Source: The Algonquin war diary, October 11, 1944)
