Lieutenant Leon Hubert Pelletier, Carleton and York Regiment. Born on 16 December 1916 in Chandler, Québec and died of wounds on 25 July 1943.
Although the war diary from the Carleton and York Regiment doesn't mention the death of Leon, a small sentence in his file states the cause of his death: "previously reported died of wounds, now reported died by misadventure; failing to answer challenge of sentry..."
Leon received a gun shot wound in the neck and was rushed to No. 1 Field Dressing Station in Valguarnera where he died of his wound the same day. He was initially buried in Valguarnera and later reburied at Agira Canadian War Cemetery.
