Chinese World War I soldier to be honoured in France and Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — More than 200 Chinese soldiers were part of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in World War I and they weren’t even Canadian citizens.
One of those soldiers has remained relatively anonymous until now.
Kamloops resident Frederick Lee was only 20 years old when he signed up to fight for Canada in World War I.
He didn’t have the right to vote, but it wasn’t enough to stop the young man from going to battle.
