During the turbulent events of the North-West Rebellion in 1885, the author was in command of the Headquarters Division at Regina. There he was responsible for Louis Riel, the Metis leader, during his imprisonment, trial and execution. As Adjutant, the author compiled the first published 'Regulations and Orders' of the Force in 1889. He later spent many years in command of the divisions at Calgary and Lethbridge.
