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.
