THE LETSON TROPHY

15. This trophy, donated by Major-General H.F.G. Letson, CB, CBE, MC, ED,
CD, to encourage and promote greater interest in competitive rifle shooting
in the Regular Force, was presented for the first time in 1955.

16. General Letson, born in Vancouver, served with the 196th Battalion
Canadian Expeditionary Force and the 54th Battalion in England and France
during World War I and was awarded the Military Cross in May 1917. From
1927 to 1930 he served as a Commanding Officer British Columbia Regiment
(Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles) and in 1936 he became the Commander 14th
Infantry Brigade. In 1940, General Letson was the first Canadian Military
Attache appointed to the United States of America and in 1944 returned as
Commander Canadian Joint Staff after two years as Adjutant General in
Ottawa. A keen rifle shot, General Letson attended several shooting meets
at Bisley, England, and was Commandant of the Canadian Rifle Team (DCRA)
in 1934. He retired from the Active Army in 1946.
