Frederick William Borden
Sir Frederick William Borden, KCMG, PC (May 14, 1847 – January 6, 1917) was a Canadian politician. While he was the Minister for Militia and Defence, he was the father of the most famous Canadian casualty of the Second Boer War Harold Lothrop Borden.〔(Canadian Biography Online - Herold Borden )〕 Historians credit him with creating and financing a modernized Canadian army with a staff and medical, transport, and signals that proved as vital in war as the infantry, cavalry, and artillery they served. He thus created the foundation for the Canadian armies of 1914–1918 and 1939–1945.〔Carmen Miller, ''A Knight in Politics: A Biography of Sir Frederick Borden'' (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2010)〕
