STORY

Jesse Rice was born on March 25, 1922.
He resided with his parents, Charles and Dalia RICE, as well as his younger sister Edith, until the death of his father around 1940.
Following this, he moved to his grandparents' house, leaving his mother and sister behind him. His mother then remarried to W B Carter.

He completed his education until the third grade at Harley school located in Jassamine county.

He married Bernadette Eléonore in Northern Ireland during his service.
He worked without remuneration to support his family.
Jesse Rice was enlisted on 23 August 1940 and was posted to Seaford, Ireland with his regiment.

He landed on June 6 on the Normandy beaches and fought as far as Angers.
Jesse fought for the liberation of Angers where he was wounded and captured by the Germans, being declared missing on August 28, 1944. He died in custody and his body was discovered almost a year after his disappearance on July 8, 1945.
