Retired Col Donald S Ethell, OC, OMM, OStJ, MSC, AOE, CD.
Alberta Provincial Director ICROSS CANADA,



The MC and Chairman of the Queens Own Rifles Reunion in Calgary, Alberta in 2005. A great gathering and a job well done.

Colonel (Retired) Donald Stewart Ethell, OMM, MSC, CD
Donald Stewart Ethell was born July 1937 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Committed to the welfare of others, Colonel Ethell's humanitarian efforts and military career have had international impact and have brought distinction to the reputation of Canadian peacekeeping.
In 1955, Donald Ethell joined the Canadian Army at the young age of 17. Private Ethell immediately received his basic training as a rifleman in the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada at Currie Barracks in Calgary. When the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada was removed from regular army service in 1970, all members of the battalion including Ethell changed their affiliation to the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. He quickly rose through the non-commissioned officer ranks to that of warrant officer until being commissioned as an officer to Her Majesty's Forces in 1972. This move was to foreshadow a distinguished career in the military service.
Colonel Ethell consistently demonstrated his natural ability for leadership. He is a veteran of 14 international peacekeeping deployments with service in Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Central America and the Balkans.
Between two tours of duty in the Middle East, for the years 1987 to 1990, Colonel Ethell served as the director of peacekeeping operations at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa. This period of time encompassed a significant increase in Canada's commitment to peacekeeping and peacemakers with Canadian Forces and individual officers being deployed to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Namibia and Central America.
In support of Canadian-sponsored efforts to bring peace to the Central America region, Colonel Ethell frequently visited Central America to brief military and political leaders on the benefits of peacekeeping missions. This led to his secondment to United Nations headquarters in New York to conduct in-theatre reconnaissance of five Central American countries associated with the Arias Peace Plan. The Ethell plan was accepted by the UN Under-Secretary General for Peacekeeping as the initial operations plan of the UN Peacekeeping troops assigned to the area. Additionally, then Secretary of State for External Affairs, Right Honourable Joe Clark, tabled the plan in the Canadian House of Commons.
Following his tenure as the director of peacekeeping operations, Colonel Ethell returned to the Middle East where he served as the chief of staff and deputy force commander of the Multinational Force and Observers during the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War.
Colonel Ethell then returned to Canada to commence retirement leave. However, within one month, he was ordered back on duty to Yugoslavia as the head of the Canadian Delegation for Canadian Forces officers assigned to the European Community Monitoring Mission in Yugoslavia. This tour, in early 1992, overlapped the commencement of yet another war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the subsequent arrival of the large United Nations protection force. In due course, he returned to Canada, and finally retired from the Canadian Forces in July 1993.
While in the service, Colonel Ethell also participated in many domestic and international peacekeeping symposia in Moscow, Madrid, New York, San Jose and Tegucigalpa. He continues to serve as a defence analyst to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other media organizations.
Colonel Donald Ethell is considered to be Canada's most experienced and decorated peacekeeper. Honours and awards received include the Order of Military Merit (officer grade) in 1982 and the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (serving member grade) in June 2001. In 1986, he received the Meritorious Service Cross for his action in planning and commanding operations associated with prisoners of war and body exchanges between the Israelis and Syrians in 1984, and the passage of Palestinian prisoners from Israel to Lebanon through Syria in 1985. He also received the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal in 2001, as well as various campaign medals for his service on peacekeeping missions, 100th and 125th Anniversary medals, the Special Service Medal and the Canadian Forces Decoration.
Following his military retirement, Colonel Ethell found a new focus and more time for humanitarian efforts. He became involved with CARE Canada, providing consulting services to staff responsible for five refugee camps in Eastern Kenya and Somalia. Despite being witness to many atrocities throughout his military career, this exposure to "matchstick" children and many others dying of AIDS-related illness and starvation left a haunting impression. This memory remains foremost in his mind as he currently serves as Alberta's director of the International Committee for the Relief of Starvation and Suffering, ICROSS. He continues his efforts in providing relief to the estimated 15,000 people in Africa who succumb to starvation or AIDS-related illnesses each week.
In addition to his concern for the tragedy in Africa, Colonel Ethell is active in pursuing issues regarding Canada's veterans. As a member of the Friends of Colonel Belcher committee in Calgary, he is committed to many activities associated with the move of the veterans from the existing Colonel Belcher Veteran Care Centre to a new care facility in 2002. Additionally, Colonel Ethell serves as one of four committee chairs for the recently formed Canadian Forces Advisory Council, which is responsible for investigating and reporting on all aspects associated with Canada's veterans. He also serves as national president of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping.
Colonel Ethell is the president of DEthell Consulting International Inc, through which he provided experience and expertise for United Nations peacekeeping operations in Haiti, Rwanda and Angola, and with the United States Special Forces.
He also enjoys memberships in the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada Association and Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Associations, Royal United Services Institute of Alberta, Calgary Military Museums Society and the Royal Canadian Legion. Col Ethell is also Past President of The Canadian Association of Veterans In United Nations Peacekeeping CAVUNP.
Colonel Ethell and Linda, his wife of 47 years, as of 2007 and reside in Calgary. They have two married sons - Darrell and Douglas - and two grandchildren.

The Warriors' Day Parade Council and The Canadian National Exhibition welcomes General MacKenzie as our distinguished Honorary Parade Marshall.




Retired General Lew MacKenzie is happy following new career track

Story by Don Campbell, CanWest News Service

Ottawa - He's a decorated soldier who made his mark around the world, so competitors often find it difficult to believe who is really under the helmet in Car 96.

Forget his work in Sarajevo, Vietnam, Central America, Cairo, the Gaza Strip and Cyprus. Just try coming up in retired major-general Lewis MacKenzie's rear view mirror and blowing by him on a straightaway, or going high on a turn.

Put MacKenzie behind the wheel at Mosport, Shannonville, Trois-Rivieres or Montreal, on just about any given weekend from May through September, and, well it's all-out war. As a soldier, he welcomed the prospect of the enemy waving white flags. Now he lives to take checkered ones.

Which helps explain why, even at 67, the general is at the top of his game, having just clinched first spot in the Diamond class in the Ontario Ford Series with one event to go. His victory helped Ottawa's Mortimer Racing to its first sweep of both championships in the Series, with Matt White taking the Brian Stewart class.

How's this for taking no prisoners? MacKenzie raced 12 open-wheel-style races this summer, all to podium finishes. That would be five firsts, six seconds and one third.

"He's still a soldier," says Nigel Mortimer, the racing guru who heads the Mortimer Racing outfit. "If you want to pass him, you have to work for it. He's one tough competitor."

If MacKenzie is the brawn of Mortimer Racing, Mortimer is the brains. His racing team basically operates out of his garage and numbers 10 cars - and growing. He also finds time to drive his own cars, but he is the one the others seek out when things aren't going right.

Coincidentally, his day job has him overseeing the Transport Canada department in charge of vehicle recalls and putting manufacturers on the hook for repairs.

With his own cars, he's on the hook.

The relationship among the drivers has made for many memorable moments, some of which will be included in MacKenzie's much-anticipated and as-yet-untiltled book. It has just landed on his publisher's desk, some 13 years after he penned his first, the No. 1 bestseller Peacekeeper: The Road to Sarajevo.

Yes, his book will delve into his side of a negotiated hostage release while commanding United Nations troops in Bosnia. Yes, he will weigh in on his relationship with former general, now senator, Romeo Dallaire and give his account of the events in Carol Off's critical book, The Lion, The Fox and The Eagle.

But the book's longest chapter, some 5,000 words, will focus on his racing career and his passion for speed.

It' a love of long standing. He was hooked from the moment a friend took him to a track when he was still in the first phase of infantry training at Camp Borden.

The day he decided to put aside his studies at St. Francis Xavier University and accept a direct commission into the army was a sign of what was to come. He needed the money to buy a sports car.

A few years later, he became even more serious. In his 30's and with a little discretionary income, he told his wife, Dora, that he wanted to try racing for "one summer". She reluctantly agreed.

His first race was while he was stationed in Germany.

Thirty-some one-year extensions later, he's still working on the "one summer" promise to his wife, all the while finding ways to keep his racing pursuits at least tolerable on the home front.

"You might call (racing) a passion," says MacKenzie.


Lew

By Billy Willbond

Scan the sports section's hockey - See who's got the goal?

Look at the racing car finalists - Who are the brave and bold?

There's the name of Lew MacKenzie - Once our soldier boss!

Now he 's racing and he's funding for our Canada's ICROSS!

What's that on his racing helmet? - Is that a yellow ribbon seen?

It's a suport our troops decal being sported on the racing scene!

The General's passing younger driver's in just about every race!

Lew is in fact a constant winner - He is a Canadian driving ace!

Lew has the Order of Canada and he holds two MSC's

One of the only Canadians who ever received 2 of these!

He is still a constant winner on the racing track's summer circuit

Lew has a busy schedule - I just don't know how he ever works it?

Lew just sent to us two thousand bucks for his riding with the CAV

It was an MC summer project that old veterans often have

They ride their motorcycles - to support the children of war

And this wonderful contribution will support the children in Darfor.

We are waiting for his new book to be published that's for sure

And we know t'will be successful cause the contents will be pure!

Lew is a soldier's soldier! He's a leader, and a real good guy!

He often gets in political trouble! - Cause our Lew he does not lie!

Inspired by the Times Colonist article this date!

Retired Major Robert B Firlotte and Norm Van Tassel

Maj Firlotte was Norm's Company Commander during recruit training. Norm had the privilege after completing a Infantry Signalers course to go to Korea on the advance party with Major Firlotte, which meant flying rather then the long boat trip over. Norm spent the first 6 months as the Driver Operator for Major Firlotte after that he became a section leader in the Company under Maj Firlotte. Upon returning back home Maj Firlotte left the Bn and became involved in many other things. Norm did hook up a couple more times with the Major once at the Jr NCO course in Wainwright Alberta and the Depot at Calgary. I not only had the pleasure of being promoted by him but I also was stripped by him for a short period of time. Lesson well learned. His leadership was second to none and led by example.

Foiled Robbery





Officer Gets Queen's Award




"Quick-thinking action in apprehending a
would-be bank robber Last May has brought Major
Robert Firlotte of 440 King Street, West Queen's
Commendation for Brave Conduct.
Major Firlotte received the award Friday at a
ceremony at eastern Ontario Area Headquarters.
The 49-year old Army Officer was waiting in
the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch
at the Kingston Shopping Centre May 31 when a
man attempted to hold up the bank, threatening to
use acid as a weapon.
A woman teller screamed, and the man fled.
Major Firlotte chased him, catching him outside the
bank and holding him for the police. James Kane 22,
was later given a two year suspended sentence on a
conviction of attempted bank robbery.
The Queen's Commendation is given for
"gallant and Distinguished service but not in
operations against tho enemy".
At the time of the incident Major Firlotte of
Campbelton, N.B. was a staff officer at area
headquarters. He has recently retired




C I T A T I O N




At approximately 1230 hours on 31 May
1966. ZG 2163 Major R.B. Firlotte entered the
bank of Commerce located at the shopping centre
in Kingston, Ontario, for an appointment with
the Manager. Mr. T.H. Hein. While awaiting
admittance to the Manager's office he heard Mrs.
Joan Seguin, a teller. scream and noticed a man
detach himself from the teller window and
hurriedly walk towards the exit. In the
confusion of the next few moments he heard Mrs.
Seguin yell that a robbery had been attempted
and that the robber has threatened to use acid if she resisted.
With complete disregard for personnel
safety and unaware that the robber was only
armed with a toy weapon. Major Firlotte ran
after the fleeing man. Seized him and forced him
to return to the bank where the police shortly
after took him into custody. By his presence of
mind and quick action, Major Firlotte arrested a
felon who would otherwise have escaped.
The entire action took place in a matter
of only a few minutes. The area outside of the
bank was crowded and the robber would have been
absorbed in the crowd had Major Firlotte not
acted immediately. No other inmates of the
bank, other than the manager, made any attempt
to follow the robber or assist in his apprehension.
Major Firlotte performed a public service
which is not only a credit to his personnel
qualification, but greatly enhanced the image
of the serviceman in the city of Kingston.
It is therefore recommended that, for his
courageous actions, quick thinking and disregard
for personnel safety in apprehending this
criminal, Major Firlotte be awarded the Queen's
Commendation

I used to write for a paper and just do write ups for the Seniors now and Korea Veterans in Peterborough, also editor for Unit 8 as well as public relations. I do dedicate these 125 pictures to the men and women of the QOR, to the KVA, Legion and any other person that remembers those who fought for peace and those that died in the wars, we shall remember them. God bless them all.

Rfn Deuce Horn the Bn Mascot and his Buddy

Sgt George (Pop) Purchase .



Deuce Horn. & Wild Bill Matthew our CO

The Mascot, Deuce Horn a huge Great Dane Dog joined the Queen's Own Rifles in Camp Ipperwash, Ont in 1952. He originally belonged to 2 Lt Bissette who left the Bn to become a pilot with the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Canadian Navy. He died in Nova Scotia in 1953 while piloting his Sea Fury Air Plane. When Lt Bissette left the Queen's Own, Col Matthews took custody of Deuce Horn and made him the Queen's Own Mascot. When the Bn left for Korea Deuce Horn was part of the Bn that embarked with the main body. They boarded the SS Marine Lynx and enroute Deuce Horn was put into a cage on the main deck. Deuce Horn for some reason or other, every time an American sailor would pass by his cage would growl and bark until the sailor was past his so called turf. He had no problems with members of the Queen's Own and would wag his tail and allow the Queens Own near him but not the Americans. Must have been the uniform. Because of his good conduct while on the ship the CO promoted Deuce Horn to L/Cpl. After arriving in Korea, Deuce Horn went missing for about two weeks and it was feared that he ended up in one of the Kimchi pots that were famous at the time for cooking up a good stew. Deuce Horn suddenly appeared at the Officers Mess in a state of physical disarray. He was exhausted and passed out in front of the fire place. Once he recovered to a state where he could be held accountable for his actions, he was charged with being AWOL and escorted before the Commanding Officer then, Lt Ron Awful Werry. He was reduced to the rank of Rfn and sentenced to 14 days CK. (Confined to Kennel). He must have learned his lesson as he never went AWOL again during his tour of duty. Upon his return he went onto Gordenhead, from there he went with the Queen's Own Rifles to Germany to serve with NATO at Fort McLeod Hemer, Germany. Deuce Horn, from the last report and rumors that I have and they have varied over the years, did in fact die from cancer in Feb 1958. His grave digging was supervised by DSM George Collins and the task completed by M/Cpl Seeley, Arsneault, Jim Carroll and the six pallbearers shown in the above picture. It is said that the ground was like digging in dry clay, it was hard as a rock to work with. The 2 Bn Queens Own Rifles were on parade for the funeral. The burial site is along the fence that separated the RCHA and the QOR of C on the far right side of the ball field. A cement marker was placed on the grave by the Sgt from Pioneer Pl Sgt Rocky Merritt and M/Cpl Frank Melton was I/C of the task. When we returned from Korea and we were stationed in Gordenhead, he hurt his front paw and I put a splint on it and took him for medical attention. For some reason or other he would not leave my side for a long period after that. One time I goofed up, was stripped and I ended up on defaulters parade for 7 days. He would come and stand along side of me when we were doing pack drill. We seemed to bond together. The CO Maj McCullough had me paraded before him and asked if I would take on the responsibility of looking after him and I declined. I wish today I had taken on the task. I believe it was Cpl Taylor from Pioneer Plt that took on the job and anytime there was a Bn Parade he and Cpl Taylor were leading the parade. He was a great Dog. The members of the Bn respected him and his handlers. Hats off to the guys of the 2 Bn QOR of C.

Rest in Peace My Friend

Korea and those that lost their lives before and after the Cease Fire 27 Jul 1953 - 1955

Patches worn by our Canadian Troops in Korea 1950/55
These are the patches worn on the uniforms of those that served in Korea from 1950 -1955
The red patch signifies that of the 25 CIBG (Canadian Infantry Brigade Group)worn of the right sleeve below the epaulet and the blue path that of the commonwealth worn on the left sleeve. There were 21 Countries representing the Commonwealth.

SYNOPSIS OF THE KOREA WAR

On the 25 Jun 1950. North Korea unleashed a carefully planned attack across the 38th parallel into South Korea. The United Nations Security Council met in an emergency session and passed a resolution calling for assistance of all United Nations members to halt the North Korean invasion. On 27 June, the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, ordered US Forces to come to the assistance of South Korea.

CANADIAN PARTICIPATION

On 28 June, Canada's House of Commons discussed developments in Korea and on the 5th of July, dispatched H.M.C. ships Cayuga, Athabaskan and Sioux to the Far East. On 21 Jul 426 Sqn RCAF was allotted to support U.N. Command. On 7 August, Prime Minister Louie St Laurent announced the formation and recruitment of the Canadian Army Special Force. The original components of the Special Forces included the second battalions of the Royal Canadian Regiment, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and the Royal 22nd Regiment, C Squadron of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 2nd Field Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, 57th Canadian Independent Field Squadron, Royal Canadian Engineers, 25th Company Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, and No 25 Field Ambulance. We need to remember our Mechanical, Postal, dental, chaplains, Intelligence and all the support services that it takes to put a Brigade together. The person that was in charge of the Brigade was Brig John Rockingham.

On the 27 July 1953 a cease fire was declared and three more Canadian Regiments were dispatched to Korea to relieve the Infantry Regiments over a period of time. They were the Black Watch of Canada, the Canadian Guards and the Queens Own Rifles of Canada. These three Infantry Regiments relieved the PPCLI, the RCR's and the R22eR's who served their regiment and Country with Honour. The 2 Bn PPCLI were awarded the USA Presidential Citation for their courage and bravery at the Battle of Kapyong on the 21 Apr 1951.

26,791 Canadians served in the Korean War theatre of operations. Another 7,000 served between the cease fore of 27 Jul 1953 until Aug 1955.

CANADIAN CASUALTIES

There were 1,543 battle casualties, of which 309 were killed in action, 1,202 wounded and 32 survived as prisoners of war . In addition 207 died from various causes such as training accidents, lost at sea, illness and in transit such as the Canoe River Train Wreck which happened in route to Fort Lewis Washington on the 21 Nov 1950 where by 17 Gunners from Camp Shilo Manitoba lost their lives in route to Korea.

REST IN PEACE
We recognize all the 516 that lost their lives during the Korean War 1950 - 1955 but because we served after the cease fire we also recognize those that lost their lives after the cease fire 27 Jul 1953. Those that served after the Cease fire were awarded the Peacekeeping Medal and have been recognized in the Korean Book of Remembrance and the Wall of Remembrance in Brampton Ont.
Deck of Cards
It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn't been heard. The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week. As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk. Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?" The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord" The sergeant said, "Looks to me like you're going to play cards." The soldier said, "No, sir. You see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards." The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?" "You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God. The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them were glorified. The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth. The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation. The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives -- the eight people God spared from the flood that destroyed the Earth. The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy.. He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him. The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone. The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of God's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell. The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary. The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings. When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year. There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week - 52 weeks in a year. The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Each suit has thirteen cards -- there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter . So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for." The sergeant just stood there. After a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?" Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line fighting Prayer for the Military. Please keep the wheel rolling. It will only take a few seconds of your time, but it'll be worth it to read on.... Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them. Bless them and their families. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
