ENGLAND, CANADA + THE GREAT WAR L.G. Desjardins

Louis-Georges Desjardins (May 12, 1849 – June 8, 1928) was a Canadian journalist and politician.  Born in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Canada East, the son of François Roy dit Desjardins and Clarisse Miville dit Deschênes, Desjardins was educated at the Collège de Lévis and at the Military College. A journalist, he was the editor-in-chief of newspaper Le Canadien from 1875 to 1880.

He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec for the electoral district of Montmorency in the 1881 election. A Conservative, he was re-elected in 1886 and was defeated in 1890. He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the electoral district of Montmorency in an 1890 by-election. A Conservative, he was re-elected in the 1891 election for the electoral district of L'Islet. He resigned in 1892 when he was appointed Clerk of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec, a position which he held until 1912.  He was also a Lieutenant-Colonel of the 17th Levis Battalion, Volunteer Militia.  After his death in 1928, he was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.
