Major Mackenzie
My friend Addison Alexander Mackenzie, or “Lex” as I called him, served in World War I. He joined the Governor General’s Horse Guards in 1904 and in 1915 was transferred to the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles in France. He served in some of the bloodiest clashes of World War I including the Somme and Vimy Ridge, where he was injured. During this time, he received the news that his brother, Donald Ross Mackenzie, who was also serving abroad, had gone missing. Lex searched for his brother, but to no avail. After the war was over he returned home, he took up farming and became a politician and it was while he was acting in these capacities that I met him. He was a good person and is sorely missed.
