Appointed by the British Government to a Canadian
22/07/1941+ BENNETT, Richard Bedford
Prime Minister of Canada (1930 - 1935)
Hopewell Hill, Albert County, New Brunswick
Created Viscount Bennett of Mickleham, Calgary, and Hopewell
Bennett did not receive any honours while serving as Prime Minister except being made a
Knight of Grace of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of
Jerusalem (KStJ) in December 1932.
He was made a Viscount after he moved to Britain in 1939.
"The KING has been graciously pleased on the occasion of the
celebration of His Majesty's Birthday to signify his intention
of conferring Peerages of the United Kingdom on the following:
To be Viscount:
"The Right Honourable Richard Bedford BENNETT, LL.D., D.C.L., J.P."
Richard Bedford Bennett, 1st Viscount Bennett
He was born on 3 July 1870 in Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick and grew up in nearby
Hopewell Cape. He attended law school at Dalhousie University in 1890 and graduated in
1893. He then worked as a lawyer in Chatham, N.B. Max Aitken was his office boy. He
moved to Calgary in 1897 to work with Sir James Lougheed. He was first elected to the
Northwest Territories Government for Calgary East in 1898 through to the general
election of 1902. He resigned his seat to run in the Federal Election in 1901, lost
that election and won the by-election in 1901 to replace himself. He was elected in
1911 to represent Calgary in the Federal Parliament but did not run in 1917. He ran
in the 1925 election and was briefly the Minister of Finance in Meighan’s government.
After Meighan’s defeat, he became the leader of the Conservative Government.
He
became the 11th Prime Minister of Canada from 07 August 1930 to 23 October 1935, the
heart of the Great Depression. After being defeated in 1935, he moved to England in
1938 and died there on 26 June 1947.
He is the only Canadian Prime Minister not
buried in Canada. He was elevated to the peerage as Viscount Bennett in 1941. Being
a bachelor, he had no heirs and thus the Viscountcy became extinct on his death. He
was the Honorary Colonel of The Calgary Highlanders from the year of their designation
as such in 1921 to his death in 1947. He was a controlling owner of the E.B. Eddy
match company, which was the largest safety match manufacturer in Canada, and he was
one of the richest Canadians at that time.

MACDONALD, Susan Agnes
Lady Macdonald
Widow of the Right Honourable Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB,
Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada.
Appointed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland the granting of the dignity of a Baroness of the said United Kingdom
By the name, style and title of Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe,
in the Province of Ontario, and Dominion of Canada
At her decease the dignity of a Baron of the said United Kingdom to the

Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe

Died:
24 August 1836, at Bernard Lodge, South of Spanish Town, Jamaica
Susan Agnes Bernard
16 February 1857 to Sir John A. Macdonald (2nd wife) – he was 52
Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald (1869 – 1933) who was born with
hydrocephalus and suffered from physical and mental disabilities.
05 September 1920 at Eastbourne (south coast of England)
She was brought up in Jamaica and England. She came to Canada with her mother to live
with her brother.
It was through her brother, Hewitt, that she met the Canadian
politician, Sir John A. Macdonald.
They would marry on February 16, 1867. Canada's first "First Lady" was intelligent and
curious about life but she had little patience for the social graces and duties of the
wife of a Canadian Prime Minister. In 1886, following the completion of the Canadian
pacific Railway the Macdonald's set off on a transcontinental rail trip. Consumed by
the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, the 50 year old woman raised concerns from the
crew when she enjoyed part of the trip wrapped in blankets and perched atop a candle
box on the locomotive's cow catcher! The diaries she wrote, now preserved in Canada's
National Archives, provide a fascinating view of the early years of Canadian
Confederation.

"In requital of his brilliant services at the memorable defense of Kars
against the Russians" - Williams of Kars
General Sir William Fenwick WILLIAMS, the hero of Kars whose death has been announced, was the
descendant of a loyalist family of New York which emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1783. His father, Col. Thomas
Williams of Royal Artillery, who died in 1807, was at one time Commissary General and Barrack Master at Halifax,
Nova Scotia. He married Maria Walker, the daughter of Captain Thomas Walker and left a family consisting of five
daughters and two sons. Of these, the elder, Lt. Thomas G.T. Williams entered the Royal Artillery, served under
the Duke of Wellington in Spain and France and died after the battle of New Orleans in 1815. Sir Fenwick
Williams was born at Annapolis, N.S. 04 December 1800 and at an early age obtained, through the influence of
the Commander-in-Chief of British North America, Edward Duke of Kent (father of Queen Victoria) an
appointment to the Royal Military Academy at Woodwich. Having passed with credit through the prescribed
course of study young Williams was gazetted in 1825, 2nd Lt. in the Royal Artillery, became 1st Lt. in 1827 and
was soon sent on special service to Ceylon where he remained during nine years of active and constant labor. In
1840 he was promoted to captaincy and rendered military service in Turkey where he acted as instructor in
military practice to the Turkish army and was soon made brevet major. In 1843 he was commissioned by the Earl
of Aberdeen, then Secretary of Foreign Affairs, to act as a commissioner, along with the British ministers in Turkey
and Persia, to settle the disputed between those countries. In this service he spent no less than nine years, four of
which were passed under a canvas tent and suffered severely in health from the fevers characteristic of that wild
region. One incidental result of the appointment was the facilitating of the discoveries of Layard, Loftus and
Rawlinson in Mesopotamia and ancient Assyria. During the progress of this task, Major Williams took a prominent
part in the Conference at Erzaroum, May 1847 which resulted in a treaty signed by the representatives of England, Turkey and Persia and he was at that time
promoted to the rank of Lt. Col. The task was still incomplete when in July, 1854, war having been declared between Russia and Turkey, Col. Williams was
selected by Lord Clarendon as British Commissioner at the Turkish headquarters with the rank of Brigadier General … The heroism which he displayed during
the memorial seige of Kars … Forced by famine to surrender to the beseiging army, General Williams was treated with honour by General Mouravioff and
returned to England through St. Petersburg. On the news of the victory of Sept. 29th, the British Cabinet had gazetted General Williams a Knight Commander
of the Bath and the Sultan had honoured him with the Order of Medijidie and the rank of Mushir or full General in the Turkish service. On reaching England, Sir
W.F. Williams was rewarded with the baronetcy, made a major-general, the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor, a pension of 1000 per annum, the freedom
of the City of London, Doctorate of Laws from the University of Oxford. In July 1856 he was elected to Parliament for Caine in Liberal interest and again at
general election of March 1857, but he had no fondness for Parliamentary life and retired in 1859 upon assuming the command of the post at Woolwich where
he had been educated. During the same year he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces in Canada and held the post throughout the American Civil
War until 1865. In August 1870 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of Gibraltar and filled that position until 1870. He then returned to England.

"For public services rendered to the government during the war"
After the divorce from his first wife in 1926, Sir
James Dunn married Irene Clarice Richards, former wife
of Francis Archibald Douglas Kelhead, 11th Marquess of
Queensberry. In 1928 the death of her daughter Mona
Dunn from his first marriage sent him into a state of
depression and for a time he thought about cutting
back on his business and his return to his native New
Brunswick. However, in 1929, his new wife gave birth
to a daughter, Anne, who raised his spirits much.
Anne Dunn grew up to be an artist, studying under
Henry Moore and Paris, France with Fernand Léger and
at the Académie Julian. However, Dunn and his second
wife divorced in 1942 after which he married his
longtime
personal
secretary,
Marcia
Anastasia
Christoforides.
Although 36 years his junior,
"Christofor" as she was nicknamed, was very clear,
very loyal and dedicated partner.
James Dunn sought
her input on most every business deal for the rest of
his life.

B A C H E L O R
In the British Empire (Commonwealth), a Knighthood is a dignity conferred by
the sovereign entitling the possessor to have the title 'Sir' prefixed to his
Christian name but is not a hereditary title such as the dignity of a baronet.
The post-nominal initials Kt. are also used after the persons surname to
distinguish them from a baronet who uses the postnominal initials Bt. Knight
Bachelors are not attached to any Order but are members of the ancient concept
of knighthood and chivalry expressed in Chaucer's 'chivalrie, trouthe, honour
and curtesie'. Every person who is appointed to be a Knight Companion of the
Order of the Garter or Thistle, or a Knight Grand Cross/Knight Commander of the
Bath, of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, of the Royal Victorian
Order or of the Order of the British Empire is first dubbed as a Knight
Bachelor before being invested with the appropriate insignia of the order to
which he has been appointed.
When invested as a Knight Bachelor, the knight-elect moves forward after his
name is announced by the Home Secretary and kneels on the knighting-stool in
front of the Sovereign. The Sovereign then lays the blade of the sword first
on his right and then on his left shoulder but no words are spoken during this
operation. The new Knight then stands up, steps to the side of the stool and
the Sovereign then shakes hands with him.
The Sovereign presents no insignia to the new Knight Bachelor.
However, The
Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor was founded in 1908, and in 1926 King
George V granted permission for them to obtain (at their own expense) a badge,
which was to be worn on the left side of the coat.
The badge was an oval
silver gilt plaque 76 mm high by 56 mm wide (reduced in 1933 to 63 x 47 mm).
On a background of red enamel, within an ornamental scroll border, is a cross
hilted sword, belted and sheathed, point downwards, between two spurs, rowels
uppermost.
In 1973, the Queen authorized a new badge of similar design but
without the elaborate borders, 48 mm x 32 mm to be worn at the neck from
vermilion ribbon with gold edges. A person receiving an order would not wear
the Knight Bachelor badge but would instead wear the appropriate badge of the
order. A miniature of the Knight Bachelor's badge may now be worn on formal
occasion when miniatures are appropriate.
A Knighthood conferred by the Order of the Bath, Order of St. Michael & St.
George, Royal Victorian Order or the Order of the British Empire takes
precedence over a Knight Bachelor.
The following, by year of appointment, are Canadians who have been made a
Knight Bachelor pre-confederation and post-confederation.

“Founder of Canada's first institutional brokerage company, this Toronto

especially supportive of the educational and cultural radio station CJRT-FM, the
Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and the National Ballet of Canada. In
addition, he has established international foundations dedicated to the
"development of learning and international understanding".
Notes:
Downing Street has defended the knighthood for philanthropist Christopher
Ondaatje, 69, a former pupil at Blundell's School in Tiverton, stressing it has
no connection with his donations to the party. Two years ago, Labour announced
the retired businessman, a former Tory backer, had donated £2 million to its
funds. Mr Ondaatje, who was born in Ceylon, later moved to Canada and in 1964
was a member of the Canadian Olympic bobsled team. Mr. Ondaatje is a member of
the exclusive club of Labour's 'million plus' donors. But his philanthropy does
not stop there - he has also given over a million pounds to the Royal
Geographical Society and the National Portrait Gallery, who named a wing of the
gallery after him.

THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE GARTER
United Kingdom
(KG)
This premier Order of Chivalry was probably founded in 1348. The Order has
one class and consists of the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales, Royal Knights
Companions (such as the Duke of Edinburgh) and 25 Knight Companions.
In
addition, there are extra Knights and Ladies of the Garter usually representing
foreign royalty.
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother is a Lady of the Garter.
There are also six officers of the Order and the Military Knights of Windsor
(Milites Pauperes).
The latter are twelve retired army officers including
their Governor who represent the Knights when they are absent.
The Order has nine insignia, which are awarded in the following order:
a) THE GARTER: Of dark blue velvet with gold embroidery with the motto 'Honi
Soit Qui Mal Y Pense ' (Evil be who evil thinks) which is placed by two Knights
on the left leg below the knee of a new Knight (on the left arm above the elbow
for a Lady of the Garter);
b) THE RIBAND and THE LESSER GEORGE: The four inch wide dark blue RIBAND (or
sash) is worn over the left shoulder with the Lesser George (a gold badge with
the figure of St. George fighting the dragon and encircled by an oval garter
bearing the motto) hung from it on the left hip. Both are presented after the
garter at the investiture;
c) THE MANTLE:
Made of blue velvet lined with taffeta and bearing the red
cross of St. George on a white shield encircled by the garter on the left
shoulder is placed next on the new Knight;
d) THE COLLAR and GEORGE: The collar is made of gold and consists of 24 linked
red roses each rose within a representation of the Garter and from which is
hung the George (a representation of St. George slaying the dragon made from
gold and enamels, a three-dimensional figure).
It is presented last at the
ceremony;
75
e) A HOOD (of crimson velvet), a SURCOAT (of crimson velvet and lined with
white taffeta), a HAT (of black velvet, lined with white taffeta, and fastened
with a band of diamonds, a plume of white ostrich and black heron's feathers)
and the STAR (of chipped silver is an eight-pointed star with the red cross of
St. George in the centre surrounded by the garter in blue, outlined in gold,
with the motto in the centre) make up the rest of the insignia of the order but
are not presented at the ceremony.
The Lessor George, Riband and Star are the insignia most commonly worn by the
Queen, Prince Philip and the Prince of Wales. The other insignia are only worn
on special occasions such as investitures and collar days. The collar day for
the Order of the Garter is 23 April, St. George's day, although the collar
could also be worn on the other 22 collar days during the year. Saint George's
Chapel, Windsor is the spiritual home of the Order and the names of the Knights
are placed on stall-plates in the Chapel. The banners of the current Knights
hang in the chapel as well.
No Canadians have been made a Knight of the Garter but the
Duke of Connaught (right) while Governor-General of Canada
(1911 - 1916) was a Knight of the Garter.
Five other
Governor-Generals of Canada have also been Knights of the
Garter.
The most recent Governor General to be a KG was
Field Marshal the Right Honourable Harold Rupert Leofric
George, Viscount Alexander of Tunis, KG, GCB, GCMG, CSI,
DSO, MC who was made a Knight of the Garter on 3 December
1946 along with Lord Mountbatten, Viscount Montgomery of
Alamein and Lord Alanbrooke for their services in World War
Two.
The Queen considered giving the Garter to the Right
Honourable Vincent Massey but the Prime Minister of the day
did not take action on the request.

THE MOST EXALTED ORDER OF THE STAR OF INDIA
K N I G H T H O O D
(GCSI / KCSI / CSI)
This Order was created in 1861 by Queen Victoria to honour Princes or
Chiefs of India, or British subjects for loyal services rendered to the Indian
Empire.
It had three classes:
Knight Grand Commander (GCSI), Knight
Commander (KCSI) and, Companions (CSI). The Order was discontinued in 1947 with
the independence of India. The Medal was worn after this date but with no new
awards after 1947, it has now ceased to be seen.
The motto of the Order is
"Heaven Light Our Guide". The term Knight Grand Commander was used rather than
Knight Grand Cross as the order was given to those not of the Christian faith
such a Hindus and Muslims and the term Cross may have been offensive.
GCSI:
Made up of 36 members, 18 Indian and 18 British, the insignia
include a Gold collar made up of lotus flowers, palm branches and joined by red
and white roses.
The badge is an onyx cameo bearing the effigy of Queen
Victoria, set in a gold, ornamental oval containing the motto of the Order in
diamonds, on a pale blue ground. The oval is surmounted by a star in chased
silver and the entire badge hangs from the centre of the collar which is a
Royal crown.
The breast Star consists of golden rays issuing from a centre.
The centre has a 5-point diamond star resting on a circular ribbon of light
blue enamel bearing the motto in diamonds. A Mantle of light blue satin with a
representation of the star on the left side, and tied with a white silk cord
with blue and silver tassels makes up the formal insignia. When worn without
the collar, the badge is worn on the left hip from a 50 mm wide Sash of pale
blue edged in white which passes over the right shoulder.
KCSI:
Made up of 85 members, the Badge is worn round the neck from a
ribbon 38 mm wide and the Star is the same as the GCSI but in silver rather
than gold.
CSI: Made up of 170 members, the Badge is worn round the neck from a 38
mm wide ribbon. All three classes wear the 38 mm wide ribbon in undress.
