P.RE Trudeau's War Service
I have in my files a page from the war diary of C Troop, 105th Coast
Battery RCA stationed at Fort Peninsula, Gaspe, Quebec, dated 10 August
1943:
"At about 1945 hrs two civilians, students from Montreal as they were
identified, were apprehended by our guards as suspicious persons because
they were travelling by foot. After identification it was found they were
respectively Pierre Elliott Trudeau - 84 McCulloch Montreal, and Jean
Gelinas from Outremont - Montreal. They were dressed and equipped in scouit
like fashion. They were released and continued their tour of the Gaspe
Coast."
It doesn't seem that our PET was doing any military training during his
summer vacations while attending university.
