Uploader's Notes: Private Proulx was a farmer in the Huntingdon area when he enlisted in June 1915. He was likely in France by December 1915 and was serving with the famous 22nd (Van Doos) when he was likely wounded on August 27th or 28th 1918, in the fighting around Arras in Northern France, evacuated to one of the hospitals near the coast, where he died on 2 September. The 22nd Battalion suffered many casualities, including Major Georges Vanier, future Governer General of Canada, during these 2 days of fighting..
