Évelyne Comte, M.S.M.
Supt, France

Évelyne Comte was the driving force behind the creation of the memorial in Supt dedicated to the memory of the members of the Canadian Forestry Corps who lost their lives in the French Jura during the First World War. Through her efforts in the duty to remember, she has helped to raise awareness of the important contribution that the volunteers of Canada’s No. 2 Construction Battalion, made up of hundreds of Black soldiers, made to the war effort.
