Lucien Galtier (1871-1941) was a farmer in Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec, then a Francophone province of Canada, which was occupied by U.S. forces early in the Great War. Although Galtier was not overtly hostile to the U.S. occupation, the occupiers decided to confiscate part of his land to build a military hospital. After his daughter, Nicole, married Leonard O'Doull, one of the US Army surgeons, the U.S. military government and the government of the Republic of Québec decided Galtier was friendly, and compensated him for the land and paid back rent. The Republic of Quebec later bought the land the hospital was built on for a large sum. That money, combined with the rent he had received, made him one of the wealthier farmers in the area.
