Major HD Proctor, RCCSThe following information is from Bob Janik on 2004-10-16 robertjanik_84 (at) msn.com ex-RCCS: The first, Major HD Proctor (RC Signals), who was killed on his first jump while leading the first Canadian contingent to train at Fort Benning. He was killed on 7 Sep 42 when the trailing aircraft flew into him. Proctor Field at Camp Shilo, the Cdn home of 1 Can Para and subsequently the first Cdn para trg facility is named after him. His remains were returned to Canada for burial in Ottawa. Major Proctor was selected as the first CO based on his pre-eminent credentials and strength of character, and those of us who have served in "Airborne Signals" are enormously proud of the association of both Airborne and Signals. |
