Adjudant-ma\u00eetre Raoul (Ray) Fournier \u2013 Corps royal du service de l’arm\u00e9e canadienne<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 l’appel lanc\u00e9 par le Canada pour que des hommes s’enr\u00f4lent dans les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes afin de soutenir le Royaume-Uni dans ses efforts de guerre, Raoul (Ray) Fournier s’est enr\u00f4l\u00e9 le 28 ao\u00fbt 1941. En avril 1942, il \u00e9tait arriv\u00e9 au Royaume-Uni, laissant derri\u00e8re lui sa femme et sa fille de 8 mois. Il ne reverrait ni sa femme ni sa fille avant 4 ans. En juillet 1944, apr\u00e8s deux ans d’entra\u00eenement au Royaume-Uni avec la 2e Division d’infanterie canadienne, ils furent envoy\u00e9s en Normandie pour rejoindre les Canadiens qui avaient d\u00e9barqu\u00e9 \u00e0 Juno Beach le 6 juin 1944. \u00c0 cette \u00e9poque, il \u00e9tait pass\u00e9 de mitrailleur Bren \u00e0 cuisinier du Corps d’arm\u00e9e, en raison d’une p\u00e9nurie de cuisiniers. Apr\u00e8s la perc\u00e9e des plages de Normandie, la 2e Division d’infanterie canadienne a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le important dans la reprise des ports de la Manche, la bataille de l’Escaut et la lib\u00e9ration des Pays-Bas. Apr\u00e8s la guerre, Ray est retourn\u00e9 \u00e0 la vie civile, mais il s’est vite rendu compte que la camaraderie et la vie militaire structur\u00e9e lui manquaient, alors il s’est r\u00e9engag\u00e9. Il a ensuite servi pendant 27 ans dans les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes, effectuant \u00e0 nouveau son service en Europe (Allemagne, 1957-1959) avec les forces alli\u00e9es, ainsi que pendant la guerre de Cor\u00e9e et dans le cadre de missions de maintien de la paix \u00e0 Chypre. Il a pris sa retraite en tant que ma\u00eetre adjudant en 1972, puis a servi dans le Corps canadien des commissionnaires pendant pr\u00e8s de 20 ans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
