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 , 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.

This is a hereditary title below the peerage. The individual is NOT knighted by the . A Baronet receives no insignia from the Sovereign. However, in 1929, they were allowed to purchase a BADGE. This badge consists of a white shield with a red left hand in the centre, surmounted by a crown, all within a blue border variously decorated with roses for of England, with for Baronets of Ireland, with roses and for Baronets of Great Britain, and with roses, thistles and shamrocks for Baronets of the United Kingdom. It is worn round the neck from a 1 3/4" of yellow with dark blue edges (1/4"). The ribbon is not worn in undress and the Badge is not worn in miniature. The post-nominal letters Bt can be used after the person’s name. Although not knighted, they are entitled to be called 'Sir' and the eldest son inherits the Baronetcy.

What is a Baronet? The title was created to collect money for the King - £1080 to be precise. The best way to view it is a hereditary knighthood. A cannot pass on his title to his sons but a Baronet can. The title is extinct in the United Kingdom now with the last Baronet created in 1965 for Margaret Thatcher’s husband.

General Sir William , 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 , 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 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 (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 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 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 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 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 and filled that position until 1870. He then returned to England.

In 1928 the death of her daughter Mona Dunn from his first 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 .

30 K N I G H T 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 expressed in Chaucer's 'chivalrie, trouthe, honour and curtesie'. Every person who is appointed to be a Knight Companion of the or Thistle, or a Knight Grand Cross/Knight Commander of the Bath, of the Order of Saint and , of the 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 and kneels on the knighting-stool in front of the Sovereign. The Sovereign then lays the blade of the 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 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 . 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 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.

29/12/1942+ WHEELER, Edward Oliver Brigadier Royal Engineers Ottawa, Ontario MC (1916) Surveyor General of India Mountain Climber East Rongbuk glacier survey led to him discovering the best Route to climb Knighted on behalf of King George VI by the Viceroy of India Born: 18 April 1880 in Ottawa, Ontario Died: 19 March 1962 in Vernon, British Columbia

Brigadier-General Edward Oliver Wheeler, Kt, MC, Royal Engineers Surveyor General of India

One of the speakers at a group I belong to (the Roundtable in Vancouver) spoke about the 1921 and 1922 Mount Everest climb. He spoke about Edward Wheeler, a member of the 1921 Everest reconnaissance expedition. His exploration of the East Rongbuk glacier led him on 3 August 1921 to realize that this provided the key to a viable route to the summit of Everest. He was one of the climbing team to reach the North Col. He told us about Wheeler’s life and how in writing his book about the 1922 climb, he looked for Wheeler’s notebooks that he knew he had kept. To his amazement, he went to a neighbour’s house two blocks from where he lived in West Vancouver and found the notebooks were with one of Wheeler’s relatives.

Edward Oliver Wheeler had attended Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario from 1907 to 1910 where he finished first of his class in all three years at RMC and was the Battalion Sergeant Major, the highest rank attainable by a Gentleman Cadet in his final year. He was given a choice of commissions in the British Army and became a Royal Engineer. He then attended the School of Military Engineering in Chatham, UK. Upon this graduation he was posted to the 1st King George V's Own Bengal Sappers and Miners. During the First World War he served with 1st King George V's Own Bengal Sappers and Miners as part of the Indian Expedition Forces in 1914 and with the same forces in Mesopotamia campaign 1916- 19. He was Mentioned in Despatches 7 times for actions both in France and Mesopotamia. He was awarded the and the Croix de Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur by France. In 1919, he was seconded to the Survey of India.

He married Dorothea Sophia Danielson in 1921. His son John Oliver Wheeler (1925–2015) was an -winning Canadian geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada.

Edward came to Canada on sick leave in 1922 but returned to India in 1923. During this stay he toured Canada discussing his adventure on Everest. In 1925 further convalescing in Canada was necessary after another operation in London. He then returned to India. He rose through the positions of Superintendent (1927), Director (1939) and finally to Surveyor-General of India (1941–1947). He was knighted in 1943 by the Vice-Roy of India.

Upon his retirement, he returned to Canada with his wife, and lived in Lavington, near Vernon, BC. He was active with the . From 1950 to 1954. He died on 16 March 1962 in Vernon following a stroke.

Citation to Order of Canada : “Founder of Canada's first institutional brokerage company, this Toronto financier contributes generously to his community and to the country. He is 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 EXALTED ORDER OF THE STAR OF INDIA (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 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.
