  • On the Cover
    On the Cover: For the cover of Edition 1 - 2013: RCEME as Leaders Everywhere, Part 2, the editorial staff of the RCEME Journal wanted to focus on the five EME Branch leaders showcased in the Journal (Cover foreground from left to right: Col (Ret’d) Andrew Nellestyn, CWO Serge Froment, CWO Andy Dalcourt, BGen Alex Patch, BGen (Ret’d) Bill Brewer.) You can read interviews with these five individuals beginning on page 6. It was a challenge to select only a few leaders to interview out of the dozens of men and women who have made dramatic contributions to the EME world over the last decade. A decade is a very short time period to look at when considering the entire history of the EME Branch in Canada, even if we do restrict ourselves to the period from the founding of the EME Branch on 15 May 1944 to today. With that in mind we decided to add two other individuals to the cover of the Journal. General Andrew McNaughton CH, CB, CMG, DSO, CD, PC, and Colonel A.L. Maclean are two of the founding members of the EME trade in the Canadian Armed Forces and no discussion on today’s leadership would be complete without some mention of their contributions. These were two of the builders of the Branch and their influence is still being felt today. General Andrew McNaughton Colonel A.L. Maclean General McNaughton, an electrical engineer, joined the Canadian Colonel Maclean served 31 years in the Canadian Armed Forces during Armed Forces militia in 1909 and went overseas almost immediately which time he saw action in World War Two, rising to command the 1st following the beginning of hostilities of the First World War.
