In Memory of Reg.#288, NWMP Samuel James Donaldson
'Friends Not Forgotten'
In a recent message, Regina Vet. Ron Smith said this of S.J. Donaldson:
'Some of our early NWMP members went on to contribute so much
to the settlement of the west after they had left the Force. Samuel Donaldson was one such member.
Donaldson was so successful in recruiting for WWI that Mr. Sam Hughes, the
Minister of War used
Donaldson's recruiting style while successfully promoting recruits in Ontario and
as well as in other parts of Canada.
The battle flag of the 188th
Battalion and Donaldson's desk when
he was an M.L.A. are on display at the Prince Albert Historical Museum., Prince Albert, SK.'
A photo of S. J. Donaldson and some additional history can be found on the database under Reg.#288.
