"SNIP....................


Ottawa police charged Franck Gervais Saturday for impersonating a decorated soldier during a Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.

Gervais, 32, is not a member of the Canadian Forces and faces two charges of personating a public officer, one charge of unlawful use of military uniforms and one charge of unlawful use of military decoration.

After seeing Gervais speaking as a "sergeant" on television, a number of veterans and soldiers called CBC News to question his status as a soldier.

It is an offence for someone who is not serving in the military to wear a current military uniform.
