LAC Roland Desnauliere of 1488 Prefontaine St. Montreal, Quebec was mentioned in an RCAF PRESS RELEASE December 26, 1944. According to the press release, there were photos to follow.
"Gloriously filling a corner in a tiny, handmade shack of this Typhoon airfield is a Christmas tree, which symbolizes home to six residents of Montréal. They are the occupants of the cabin, and they pooled several days paid to purchase beautiful decorations for the tree. They have saved their parcels from home for the past month, just to open them beneath this tree. From neighboring cabins, which are the winter quarters of the airmen on this advanced airfield came a steady trickle of visitors, who looked at the tree, most of them silently, for long minutes.
You see all of us always had a big Christmas tree at home. We all felt it would be a little more like home in the shack if we had one here too. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
commented LAC Roland Desnauliere, Montreal, who shopped for the decorations in Brussels shops.<>
