Ken joined the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) in 1952 and, following officer training that included field experience in Germany, was posted to Nova Scotia where he served in administrative, transport and supply positions. His next assignment as a recruit training supervisor at The RCASC School in Camp Borden was interrupted by a peacekeeping tour with the United Nations India-Pakistan Observer Mission where he served on both sides of the common border. From Camp Borden, Lt Bourgeau was transferred to Alberta where he assumed supply duties at Camp Wainwright. Included was responsibility for two giant gasoline storage tanks. Here, in the face of possible disaster, Ken's ever-present sense of humour came into play. Early one fine morning in 1962, it was discovered that some 5,000 gallons of gasoline had leaked from a tank overnight. Soon, the Camp Fire Marshall was on the scene. Taking such matters as the proximity to PMQs, a river, soil conditions, etc., into consideration, it was decided to protect the tanks with a wall of water and burn off the spilled gasoline. With the fire raging, an equally raging Camp Commander arrived on the scene and demanded, "Bourgeau, did you light this fire?" Ken calmly replied, "No, Sir! I just supplied the match!" On retirement from regular service, he was called back to uniform as the Provincial Warning Officer in Charlottetown. Two other military duties were very important to Ken. Late in his regular career, he journeyed to Halifax annually to be the Logistics Officer for the Canadian Forces Tattoo. Later, he dedicated much of his time to his beloved cadets! As Area Cadet Instructor Cadre Officer, he was responsible for all cadet programs in P.E.I. and, for four years, he served on the board of the Army Cadet League of P.E.I. As a faithful CAVUNP member, Ken Bougeau's favourite motto was: "Better to keep the peace than to have to make peace!" May He Rest in Peace | ||||
