Who Am I?

C A N A D A

Who Am I?

Hint:

If I must say, it was my brilliant playmaking as a center but I was also known by my firm reputation as one of the most gentlemanly figures ever associated with the NHL.

Teamed with Bill and Bun Cook, we formed the dangerous Bread Line of the New York Rangers and dominated the annual voting for the Lady Byng Trophy between 1928 and 1935.

I was also proud to have been a member of the Force, but  I served long, long before your time.

So, can you guess. Who Am I?

I'll let you muddle over this for a day or two, then expose myself...Good Luck!

Who am I?

In the early days, I was a Private in the Midland Battalion in the Riel Rebellion.

I was also a member of the North West Mounted Police (NWMP). My brother also joined the NWMP but he was 'junior' to me.

Later, I was a Lieutenant in the Military Police Corps in WWI.

Here I am in daper civilian clothes.

A relative provided this snap to Buffalo Joe for publication.

Who am I?

Guess my idenity. Who am I?

I joined the NWMP in its early days. I was born and lived in a capital city in eastern Canada.  I lied about my real idenity so that I could join the Force. Eventually, I was the first NCO to receive an annual pension from the Force.

Now it's 2010. Superintendent Brian Brennan, OIC Federal Policing Services in 'H' Div. is an avid historian and he has caught on to me. He knows my real name and the story behind the story.
