Notes In 1901, Paul lived in Hamilton, QC, with his parents. Twenty-two year old Paul Napoleon earned $200 that year.[1901Census]
Just prior to the draft during WWI, Pauldecidedto enlist in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. He signed on 13 February 1917 while at New Carlisle, Quebec, hoping to become a member of the Forestry Battalion. At the time, he considered himself a trackman and proceeded toward his medical examination. He was 5'6" tall with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Despite his efforts, Paul only served 52 days and was discharged upon determination that he was medically unfit. His right legwas apparently one inch shorter than his left.He was released at Levis, Quebec, on 4 May 1917 to return to his home in Bonaventure. Until this time, 38-year old Paul had never been married.[CEFRecords]
