Uploader's Notes: Victor Alfred Jondro was born in Franklin Center, and was the son of the late Edward and Lucretia Johndro of Franklin Centre, Quebec. Victor had moved out west, and was living in Kamloops when he enlisted, a little over a year after the war started. Victor had previously served 2 years with the 50th Battery at Huntingdon, Quebec; and, 9 years with the 6th Regiment, Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles, Vancouver. In all likelihood he was killed by a high-explosive shell, and his body was never recovered. The regimental diary indicates that there was enemy shelling that occured on the 13th. The men that fought in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during World War 1 and that have no known grave have their name inscribed on the Vimy Memorial.
