Col E. Forde, OBE, DSO, VD
1885-1953
Col E. Forde, of Kingston, became Chief Signal Officer of the Canadian
Expeditionary Force in France during the First World War and was largely
responsible for the Canadians having made the most extensive use of wireless
among all the Allied forces.
His foresight was responsible for the preservation of the Royal Canadian
Corps of Signals in the reduced permanent force which followed the end
of the war. Col Forde was the guiding hand that maintained the level
of preparedness in the Corps prior to the onset of the Second World
War.
