Biographical history
Alfred Bernard (1896-1917) grew up in Abram’s Village, 14 miles west of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, the son of Antoine Bernard (1868-1953) and Adeline Arsenault (1868-1955). Antoine worked as a fisherman/farmer and later as a cooper in a barrel factory of J.W. Strong on Water Street in Summerside. Alfred enlisted in the First World War in March 1916 as a member of the 105th Canadian Infantry Battalion, a wholly Island unit known as the Prince Edward Island Highlanders. However, this Battalion was broken up as authorities sent reinforcements to other units and Bernard served overseas as part of the 26th Battalion of the New Brunswick Regiment. He was killed in action in France 15 August 1917.
Custodial history
The material was given by Alfred's parents to brother Anthony Bernard who in turn passed on the items to his nephew Leonard Savidant.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of letters from Alfred Bernard's chaplain and commanding officer written to his father Antoine, three documents pertaining to Alfred's military service and death, and a photo portrait of him in an oval frame.
