Black and white portrait of Joseph Gialleonardo in uniform - en anglais seulement
Black and white portrait of Joseph Gialleonardo in uniform, date and location unknown.
Joseph is wearing a shirt or jacket with a collar and epaulettes. He is wearing a beret with two buttons on the front. He is smiling widely at the camera. His wavy hair peeks out from the beret.
Joseph volunteered for the Canadian Army and was part of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME). He was first stationed in Montreal, before being sent to Scotland and France. His most notable contribution to the war was his participation in the Invasion of Normandy in 1944. Ironically, Joseph's father Luigi Gialleonardo was interned at Camp Petawawa for over a year at the same time that he was serving for Canada.
