Clarence Cote participated in an oral history interview conducted by Dr. John MacFarlane for the Directorate of History and Heritage's History of Aboriginal Peoples in the Canadian Military project. The interview was conducted on 02/10/2001 via telephone between Ottawa and Montreal, QC. Cote joined the army in 1950 out of a desire to fight in Korea because he cared for the cause. His roles included reconnaissance, communications, snipping, and laying traps. He details how his team utilised those who spoke Native languages to communicate in code over the radio, the tactics for obtaining information from members of the opposing force, and the training he received from the British troops, who he found to be the most effective military. The interview concludes with comments on how military experience influenced his life and his views on the fighting happening at the time of the interview.
