Frederick Lee was born into a respected Chinese-Canadian family whose members originally immigrated from Sun Wei County, near the city of Guangzhou, China.

Among the very first Chinese to join the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) from the First World War, Lee was one of about 300 Chinese Canadians to serve.

Lee then fought at Vimy Ridge and then disappeared, probably wiped out by artillery after seeing victory in the Battle of Hill 70.

To honor Frederick Lee and the soldiers of the First World War, the Canadian Chinese Military Museum donated a bench that is installed along the Frederick Lee Walkway.

Frederick Lee est né dans une famille sino-canadienne respectée dont les membres avaient originellement immigré du comté de Sun Wei, près de la ville de Guangzhou, en Chine.

Parmi les tout premiers Chinois à s'enrôler dans le Corps expéditionnaire canadien (CEC) de la Première Guerre mondiale, Lee était l'un des quelque 300 Canadiens d'origine chinoise à servir.

Lee a ensuite combattu à la crête de Vimy et a ensuite disparu, probablement anéanti par l'artillerie après avoir vu la victoire dans la bataille de la colline 70.

Pour honorer Frederick Lee et les soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale, le Musée militaire canadien-chinois a fait don d'un banc qui est installé le long du Frederick Lee Walkway.
