In 1895, Richard Palamountain, 11, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 53 children from the Liverpool Sheltering Home and en route to Knowlton, Quebec, Canada.

Liverpool Sheltering Home files state that Richard's mother Bessie died in Gloucester in 1890. While Richard's sisters were sent to live with their grandmother, he was shipped to Canada. Richard arrived in Quebec's Eastern Townships in 1895 and spent time in two or three different homes before enlisting at Kingston's Military School in 1900.

On February 27, 1904, at Kingston, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Richard Ernest Palamountain, 22, servant, born in England to Ernest Palamountain and Elizabeth Hayward; and Margaret Ann Mckenzie, 19, born in Scotland to Thomas Mckenzie and Matilda O'Geary. (Margaret was the daughter of "Jock" Mckenzie, the long-time ?Head Chief Servant? at RMC.)

On March 6, 1916, at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Richard Ernest Palamountain, 35, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he resided at the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario, Canada; that he was born in Gloucester, England; that his next of kin was his wife, Margaret Palamountain, who resided at the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario, Canada; that his date of birth was November 10, 1881; and that he was a groom. He was described as 5 foot 4-1/2 inches in height; fair complexion; blue eyes; brown hair.

Family legend puts Richard at the famous battle of Vimy Ridge, considered by historians to be a key turning point in Canadian history. On the morning of April 9, 1917, Canadian soldiers were able to take ? and hold ? the German stronghold at Vimy Ridge, France, a feat that had earlier defied both French and British forces. It was a military triumph that has gone down as an important event in Canada's road to nationhood (The Battle of Vimy Ridge, 9-12 April 1917).

Profiled on the CBC show "Who Do You Think You Are?" as Grandfather of Don Cherry. Program ran January 10, 2008.
