Le Petit Village; La Grande Guerre, a story of the Great War East Pubnico

Topics :: Amazon , Pubnico , Belgium , Maine

“Before the screaming in his ears and the concussion of the shell, he

was a man moving like a terrible machine. But now he stood still and

silent regarding sa mère, so close he could reach out and touch her

arm.”

Thus begins the story of Leonce, a young man from Pubnico who enlisted

in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force in August 1915. The

story is loosely based on Leo Z. d’Entremont of Middle East Pubnico

who was killed in action on or around June 5, 1915 in Belgium.

Written and researched by Nicole d’Entremont, Leo d’Entremont’s niece,

the story will be read Aug. 17 at the Musee acadien at 7 p.m.

Nicole d’Entremont lives and teaches in Maine and summers at her

family home in Middle East Pubnico. She is the author of the recently

published novel City of Belief available on Amazon.
