She was the daughter of Brig.-Gen. Hon. Francis Charles Bridgeman and Gertude Cecilia

=================================================================================

After practising law in Edmonton for twelve years, he joined the

Canadian Army in 1915 and became the Judge Advocate General for

Canada in 1918. He was a member of the Canadian delegation to the

Versailles Peace Conference in 1918-19. In derogation to standard

practice, Colonel Biggar, then Parliamentary Counsel of the House of

Commons, was designated in the Elections Act as the first holder of

the office, a feature that suggests that his appointment may have

been part and parcel of an all-party package. His salary was made

equal to that of a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, a position

that at that time commanded a salary of $12,000. Ironically, Biggar quit in

1927 after having supervised three general elections, because he expected to

make even more money by moving to the lucrative practice of patent law. To this

day, he remains the only Chief Electoral Officer having a legal background.

** establish links of perpetuation from the units of Canadian Expeditionary

Force back to the institutionally separate units of the Canadian Militia in the

years following the First World War. This establishment of perpetuation, based

primarily on geographical connections through original recruiting areas of the

CEF battalions, provided a basis by which the achievements and battle honours

of the CEF units transferred back to the units of the standing Militia. Without

this work of the Otter Commission the CEF and its achievements would have had

no continuance with existing units of the Canadian Army today

The Militia Act was changed in October 1900 to allow senior officers to become

full Colonels.
