| Turner | R E W | | Lieutenant | TURNER, R E W, Lieutenant, was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 19 April 1901]: "R E W Turner, Lieutenant, Royal Canadian Dragoons. In recognition of services during the operations in South Africa". Sir R E W Turner was awarded the Victoria Cross. The 'Canadian Gazette' of 5 July 1917, says: "The high place which that gallant war veteran, Major General Sir Richard Turner, VC, DSO, now holds in the Canadian Military organization was made evident to all at the Jubilee Service in Westminster Abbey. He and Sir George Perley, walking side by side, were the only Canadians in the royal procession as it made its way through the nave to the sanctuary. What Sir William Robertson is to the whole British forces, General Turner is, in a sense, to the Canadian forces overseas. He holds the senior military appointment, and is chief military adviser to the Overseas Minister of Militia, Sir George Perley, who is, so to speak, the Lord Derby of the Canadian organization; while the post of Major General Sir Arthur Currie, in command of the Canadian Army Corps, may be said to resemble in its lesser degree that of General Haig in command of the whole British Empire forces on the Western front". The 'Canadian Gazette' account of Sir R E W Turner says also that: "He went to the front early in the present war, and was in command of the Canadian Highland Brigade during the fighting at Langemarck, where 75 per cent, of the men engaged were killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. In the terrible fighting the Germans would have been able to break through at Langemarck had it not been for the courage and resourcefulness shown by the Canadian forces, including those led by General Turner and the officers and men under him".
