==August Sangret==
Sangret was born on 28 August 1913 in Battleford, Saskatchewan. He was of mixed race, called in French ''Bois-Brûlés'' ("burnt wood"), part French Canadian and part Cree. Little is known of Sangret's early life, but his family was poor and Sangret received little education – he was illiterate, but intelligent. As well as English, he spoke the Cree language and learned some of the traditional skills of his ancestors, including the construction of sturdy shelters or wigwams made from long poles covered by sheets of birch bark; the tools for this task include a small crooked knife that is unique to the Cree.
He was unable to find work in the 1930s, but from 1935 to 1939 he served in the Battleford Light Infantry, a militia regiment which trained for two weeks each year. On 19 June 1940, Sangret enlisted as a full-time soldier in The Regina Rifle Regiment. He had a criminal record, including six months in gaol for a violent assault in 1932. He was not a model soldier; he was repeatedly punished for minor infractions of military discipline and had repeated spells on the sick list and he was at least twice treated for venereal disease requiring five admissions to hospital. He arrived in Britain on 24 March 1940 and was initially stationed in Fleet in Hampshire. He was then sent to Aldershot and in July he was posted to a newly formed Educational Company which ran a course for men lacking elementary education. It was at this time that Sangret met Joan Wolfe.
