Editing First Quebec Conference (section)

==Misplaced portfolio==
Given the highly secret topic under discussion at the conference, security at the Château Frontenac and the Quebec Citadelle was important. Sgt. Maj. Émile Couture (then 25 years of age) of the Canadian Army was responsible for cleaning the offices at both of these locations after the Conference had ended.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/young-quebec-soldier-walked-away-with-d-day-plans-1943-1.5257652 | title=How a young Quebec soldier found confidential D-Day invasion plans — and kept it a secret | access-date=August 25, 2019}}</ref> Couture found a leather portfolio with a gold inscription "Churchill-Roosevelt, Quebec Conference, 1943." on the exterior and kept it as a souvenir not realizing that it contained nearly complete plans for [[Operation Overlord]]. That evening Couture discovered the contents of the portfolio and, realizing the extremely sensitive nature of those documents, hid the portfolio under his mattress until he could return the portfolio in the morning. Couture was investigated by [[Scotland Yard]] and the [[FBI]] to ensure none of the information had been leaked. At the [[Second Quebec Conference]] Couture was awarded the [[British Empire Medal]] for his silence though it was attributed for "services rendered". Couture was interviewed on Radio-Canada's radio program ''Appelez-moi Lise'' by Lise Payette in 1972 about this issue. Additional magazine interviews with Couture are on display at the permanent exhibit for both Quebec Conferences in the Quebec Citadelle<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.lacitadelle.qc.ca/en/exhibitions/permanent-exhibit.html | access-date=August 25, 2019 | title=Permanent Exhibit}}</ref> after September&nbsp;2019.
