Francois "Frank" Montferrant
Francois learned to hunt while growing up in the forests of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. He volunteered for the now legendary 22nd Battalion of the CEF when it was formed. Three-and-a-half years in the trenches taught him to fight. Rifles, knives, fists, and teeth kept him alive through some of the war’s fiercest action. After the war, Francois found that the lonely woods brought back nightmares best forgotten. Instead, he became a boxer, using the fear and frenzy of the war to propel his career first across Canada and then in the United States.
