Bonjour. Mon nom est Marie Duchesnay. Je suis née à Québec en 1920.
J'ai fait mes études à Québec et quand j'ai gradué en 1939 d'un cours sténo-dactylo bilingue, j'ai passé des examens du service civil du Canada et j'ai obtenu un travail le 1er avril 1942 à Québec à la Défense nationale, au contrôle naval. Et là, ce n'est pas du tout sténo-dactylo, j'ai appris immédiatement à chiffrer et déchiffrer les messages. On nous a suggéré de rentrer dans les WRENS, dans le Service féminin de la Marine royale canadienne pour continuer ce travail si on voulait et prendre des cours spécialisés, ce que j'ai fait à Saint-Hyacinthe, à HMCS Saint-Hyacinthe en juillet-août 1943. J'ai été en poste à Halifax et aussi au quartier général d'Ottawa. J'ai beaucoup aimé le service malgré que c'était dans des conditions terriblement pénibles parce que nos frères, nos cousins, tout le monde était dedans. Mon père a fait la première grande guerre. Et pendant que j'étais à Halifax, nous avons appris que mon frère, son avion, son bombardier avait été descendu au-dessus de l'Allemagne.
Donc, nous étions tellement de tout cœur avec toutes les forces armées pour notre liberté, pour arrêter ce terrible nazisme et je suis très contente. Je n'ai pas de mérite, mais je suis très contente de l'avoir fait. Merci. Au revoir.
