Origin of name

What is currently footnote 4 (http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/ToposWeb/fiche.aspx?no_seq=59100) leads to a source with this phrase:

Senneterre rappelle la mémoire d'un officier au régiment de Languedoc de l'armée de Montcalm, qui prit part à la bataille de Sainte-Foy le 28 avril 1760.

This translates to

Senneterre is named in memory of an officer in the Languedoc regiment in Montcalm's army, which took part in the Battle of Sainte-Foy on April 28, 1760.

However, the Battle of Sainte-Foy took place about eight months after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, during which Montcalm died.

So, while this is a turn of phrase in French, I don't think it's as accurate when written in English. I can't find any references to "Montcalm's Army" in English (or in French, actually) referring to events that took place after 1759. Thus, I've made an edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.193.251.41 18:16, November 17, 2014‎ (UTC)

The reference means that the regiment took part in the battle, not Montcalm. Thanks for noticing and correcting this. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
