The pattern which emerges concerning the place of birth of the 89 Pilons
of the CEF is reflective of the general distribution of French-Canadians
in general, and of Pilons in particular. The majority (50 or 56%)
of CEF Pilons were from Québec. The next largest concentration
is found in Ontario (26 or 29%). The remaining Pilons were either
from the prairie provinces, the United States, or, surprizingly, England.
It is important to point out that the place of birth and the place of enlistment
are not always the same or even close, although as a rule, the Pilons had
not moved very far from their place of birth at the time of enlistment.
