About this listen

This document serves as a biographical and toponymic record dedicated to the memory of Lucien Charles LeVasseur, a Canadian airman who perished during World War II. It details how LeVasseur Isle in Manitoba was named in his honor in 1982 to commemorate his sacrifice following a fatal 1944 bomber mission over Germany. The text provides an extensive genealogical history of the LeVasseur family, tracing their lineage back to early ancestors and listing the numerous siblings of Lucien's father, Albert Hugh. Readers can examine military attestation papers and personal details that paint a vivid picture of Lucien’s life as a talented pianist and athlete before his service. Additionally, the source highlights the broader military contributions of the family, noting that several other relatives served and faced danger during the global conflict. Highlighting both archival records and personal anecdotes, the article functions as a digital memorial for the LeVasseur and Carmel families.
