Found this in 2015 issue of The Strathconian (pdf) and may fit.

Major Bruce C. Rutherford
Jan 30, 1926 - Dec 31, 2013

. . . Bruce had a distinguished career in the Canadian Army, serving with the Royal Canadian Dragoons at the end of the Second World War, before taking his commission and serving as a “Strathcona” from 1949 to 1972, including service in Korea. Bruce truly loved soldiering, caring deeply for those with whom he served, developing a reputation as an outstanding leader, tactician, and trainer of a generation of this country’s troopers. . . .
