N\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al le 14 avril 1922, notre commandant se dirigeait vers la facult\u00e9 des Sciences Sociales de l’Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al. Inscrit au programme du C.E.O.C., il s’enr\u00f4le en ao\u00fbt 1941 dans la r\u00e9serve aux F.M.R. comme second lieutenant. D\u00e8s le mois d’octobre il passe au service actif comme quota de renfort et est envoy\u00e9 imm\u00e9diatement \u00e0 Brockville pour y suivre son cours d’officier.<\/p>\n

En juillet 1942, il rejoint le R\u00e9giment outre-mer et c’est l\u00e0 qu’il est choisi par le Lt-Col. Guy Gauvreau comme commandant du peloton 14, Compagnie C. A. <\/p>\n

Le 6 juillet 1944, d\u00e9barquant \u00e0 Courseuille -sur-Mer sous les ordres du major Paul Sauv\u00e9, le lieutenant L\u00e9vesque subissait son bapt\u00eame de feu ennemi \u00e0 l’a\u00e9roport de Carpiquet. Apr\u00e8s la pouss\u00e9e de Ca\u00ebn c’est Trottevale et Beauvoir. Maurice Desjardins correspondant d\u00e9 guerre \u00e9crivait \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque: \u00ab\u00a0Le Lieutenant Guy L\u00e9vesque s’offrit volontairement pour aller porter secours aux deux compagnies qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 isol\u00e9es lors de la contre-attaque ennemie. Il traversa un \u00e9cran de mitraille pour compl\u00e9ter sa mission. Son sang-froid et son courage fit l’admiration de tous\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Parmi les combats auxquels il a particip\u00e9, mentionnons St-Andr\u00e9 sur Orne, St-Martin-de-Fontenay, May-sur-Orne, Falaise-Orbec – St-Germain la Campagne – Briorne – Thiberville \u2013 Rouen. Les for\u00eats de la Londe et enfin la rentr\u00e9e triomphale \u00e0 Dieppe o\u00f9 \u00e0 l’occasion d’une messe comm\u00e9morative il va visiter la tombe de son fr\u00e8re, le lieutenant Jean-Jacques L\u00e9vesque tomb\u00e9 \u00e0 Dieppe.<\/p>\n

Le 18 septembre 1944. En effet, sous les ordres du Lt-Col. Paul Sauv\u00e9 c’est la prise de Ghyvelde, un des plus beau fait d’armes de notre unit\u00e9, ou le Capt. Guy L\u00e9vesque s’est particuli\u00e8rement distingu\u00e9.
\nCitation:
\n\u00ab\u00a0A Ghyveld, France, le 18 septembre 1944, apr\u00e8s que les Fusiliers Mont-Royal eussent captur\u00e9 la ville, l’on s’aper\u00e7ut qu’un bois \u00e0 l’arri\u00e8re de la cit\u00e9 abritait des Allemands maniant des mitrailleuses et retranch\u00e9s dans des abris en b\u00e9ton. Il fut d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de nettoyer le bois et cette t\u00e2che fut assign\u00e9e au peloton command\u00e9 par le Capt. L\u00e9vesque. Apr\u00e8s avoir avis\u00e9 son commandant il attaqua aussit\u00f4t. II mena l’assaut sur les abris en b\u00e9ton malgr\u00e9 un feu intense de mitrailleuses ennemies. Faisant preuve d’un grand courage et oubliant compl\u00e8tement toute protection personnelle, il nettoya le bois en moins de 20 minutes, capturant 2 officiers, 119 soldats, 3 mortiers et 1 canon anti-avions. Le succ\u00e8s de cette op\u00e9ration fut enti\u00e8rement d\u00fb \u00e0 l’initiative, au courage et au magnifique esprit de chef du Capt L\u00e9vesque.\u00a0\u00bb Pour cette citation il re\u00e7ut la \u00ab\u00a0Croix Militaire\u00a0\u00bb. <\/p>\n

Le 10 octobre, \u00e0 Kalempont (Hollande) notre commandant devait \u00eatre bless\u00e9 gri\u00e8vement. En d\u00e9je\u00fbnant le matin, assis sur une humble caisse, se pr\u00e9parant \u00e0 partir en patrouille qu’un obus perforant lui arracha le bras gauche, faucha son \u00ab\u00a0despatch ridder\u00a0\u00bb, son chauffeur et blessa gri\u00e8vement son caporal. Hospitalis\u00e9 \u00e0 Anvers, il est imm\u00e9diatement op\u00e9r\u00e9 et transport\u00e9 en Angleterre. <\/p>\n

Ensuite c’est le retour au Canada o\u00f9 il est attach\u00e9 ou centre de recrutement. Au mois de janvier 1945, devant le 2e bataillon r\u00e9uni par le commandant, le Lt\/Col. Arthur Guindon, le Lt\/Col. Paul Sauv\u00e9, qui rapportait personnellement d’Angleterre la citation accompagnant la d\u00e9coration du Capt. Guy L\u00e9vesque la lui lisait pour la premi\u00e8re fois.<\/p>\n

En 1946, gr\u00e2ce au Lt\/Col. Jean Chaput il est accept\u00e9 sur l’effectif et reprend le service. Promu major en 1949, En 1958, il suit les cours aux Quartiers G\u00e9n\u00e9raux de Montr\u00e9al et passe avec succ\u00e8s son \u00ab\u00a0Militia Staff Course\u00a0\u00bb ce qui lui ouvrira ainsi la voie au titre de Lieutenant Colonel et commandant du R\u00e9giment le 18 mai 1961.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s sa d\u00e9mobilisation, nous le retrouverons au minist\u00e8re des anciens combattants, o\u00f9 comme officier. de r\u00e9adaptation des bless\u00e9s, il sera responsable de toute la section nord-est du district militaire No. 4., membre de Jean Brillant V.C., de l’Association des Amput\u00e9s de Guerre du Canada, du Club Outremont et Bonaventure, il fut de plus Gouverneur de la Fondation Canadienne de la Polyom\u00e9lite.<\/p>\n

Il est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le 16 mars 1986<\/p>\n<\/div>
