Edward Franklin Grant Borland III, (1925–2013), received the French Legion of Honor in 2005 for his saving of the French town of Dieppe, Seine-Maritime from a planned Allied Command air raid. 〔http://www.cbc.ca/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2007/01/25/farmer-honour.html CBC News article〕 ==Life== March 31, 1925 – January 18, 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FORTY-SEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR )〕 Borland, more commonly known as "Jiggs" by his family and friends, was born of Canadian parents in Reading, Pennsylvania and emigrated to Canada with his parents at the age of 10. He volunteered for the Canadian army at the age of 17. From here he would attend jump school in Manitoba but did not finish due to an injury. From here he moved onto tanker school in Borden, Ontario. Once he had completed this portion of his training he was assigned to 14th Canadian Hussars. Once in England a number of the armored units were asked to assign a number of its members to a new unit known as the 8th Reconnaissance Squadron, better known as the Canadian 8th Recce. Jiggs’ role within the unit was to be a main gunner, radio operator and secondary driver.
