Died 14 May 1937 in Calgary
But it is not only in music that Mr. Augade is qualified as leader. The last military uniform he wore was that of the second regiment of French Zouaves, with which he served his time, putting in five years in foreign service. He says the marching and hardships of the African service was harder than the actual war. He cites the instance of where a company of his regiment left Figier in the interior of Africa and started on a march for the coast. It was an 18 day's tramp in month of July. By the way the men dropped in the burning sands, suffering from sun stroke, heat prostration fever and all the ills that accompany desert travels. On the 18th day they reached their barracks at the coast - eight out of the full company made it - and Albert Augade was one of them.
