In honor of the Patron Saint of the Acadians, the French prayed and implored mothers to "protect" and "bring back" their sons from the War. Like "The Madonna", this Amphibious "Armored Troop Carrier" is the first "Modern Battle Wagon" developed to "protect" and "bring back alive" the infantry forces from the battlefields. This type of vehicle is also used as an ambulance, to transport civilians during major disasters, and for Canadian peacekeeping missions around the world.
Anderson Siding was named Saint-Quentin in 1919 after a major Canadian victory over the Germans in 1916 at the Battle of the Somme near Saint-Quentin,
