This unique and cherished old photo of NWMP, Staff Sergeant A. Dorion was received from the collection of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Vet. Ron Smith.
S/Sgt. Dorion joined the Force on June 9, 1879. He retired on August 31, 1922 after a long career that spanned forty two years.
He died on June 12, 1932 and he is buried in the South Hill Cemetery, Prince Albert, SK.
S/Sgt. Dorion was involved in some major squirmishes during the early NWMP. He was at the start of the Riel Rebellion at Battleford and he was also involved in the Battle of Cut Knife.
To be absolutely clear, S/Sgt. Dorion is the person on the right.
