Uploader's Research notes:
While Samual Laboucane is stated on his attestation as born in Winnipeg, Manitoba there is evidence from census records he was born in Duhamel, Alberta
Also there is a military grave marker in the Wainwright, Alberta cemetery which indicates Private Samuel Wilfred Laboucane, Registration Number 19417 of the 2nd Battalion CEF,was born 1891 and died 1935. There may be a logical explanation to this discrepancy, however, there does seems to be a question here.
