Alexander Roberts Dunn Alexander Roberts Dunn VC ( 15 September 1833 – 25 January 1868 ) was the first Canadian awarded the Victoria Cross , the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces . He was born in York ( later Toronto ) in 1833 , the son of John Henry Dunn , and studied at Upper Canada College and at Harrow School , England . He purchased a commission in the Hussars in 1852 . Dunn was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854 when he was 21 years of age and serving in the British Army ' s 11th Hussars . Dunn rescued a sergeant by cutting down two or three Russian lancer s who had attacked from the rear . Later in the battle he killed another Russian who had been attacking a private .

He was the first Canadian to command a British Army regiment .

For over 50 years his medals were on display in the main foyer of his old school , Upper Canada College , in Toronto . In 1977 , due to a number of recent thefts and " losses " of Victoria Cross medals the school replaced the VC with a copy and moved the original to their bank safe deposit box .

He was appointed by Syrian President Bashar al - Assad in December 2002 to succeed late Ghazi Kanaan as head of Syrian military intelligence in Lebanon . He frequently traveled to the Bekaa valley where he had a residence and his headquarters in Anjar , and has been accused of involvement in the Bekaa drug trade and other smuggling ventures . In early 2005 , the killing of Rafik Hariri led to intense pressure on Syria . Ghazale ' s and Kanaan ' s foreign assets were frozen by the United States for their role in the alleged occupation of Lebanon and other suspected irregularities . Syria eventually withdrew its 15 , 000 man strong army . Ghazaleh relocated to Syria . However , some Lebanese and foreign observers alleged that Syria keeps interfering with Lebanese politics through parts of its intelligence apparatus left behind in the country ; Syria denies the charges . Kanaan later allegedly committed suicide . In September 2005 , Ghazaleh was questioned on the Hariri assassination by United Nations investigator Detlev Mehlis . In December 2005 , former Syrian vice president Abdul Halim Khaddam accused Ghazaleh of political corruption , dictatorial rule in Lebanon and of threatening Hariri prior to his death . After the withdrawal from Lebanon little was heard of him . However , at the beginning of the protests in Daraa , Ghazaleh was sent by Bashar al - Assad to assure locals of the president ' s good intentions . He reportedly told them : " We have released the children " - a reference to several teenagers who were arrested for writing anti - regime graffiti inspired by the events in Egypt and Tunisia . In May 2011 , the European Union said Ghazaleh was head of military intelligence in Damascus countryside ( Rif Dimashq ) governorate , which borders Daraa governorate , and was involved in the repression of dissent in the region . He is considered part of Assad ' s inner circle . On 24 July 2012 , Ghazali was appointed chief of political security .

Patrick III , Earl of Dunbar Patrick III , 7th Earl of Dunbar ( c . 1213 – 24 August 1289 ) was lord of the feudal barony of Dunbar and its castle , which dominated East Lothian , and the most important military personage in the Scottish Borders . Background . Said to be aged 35 in 1248 , he was the son of Patrick II , Earl of Dunbar ( by Eupheme de Brus ) , who was son of Patrick I , Earl of Dunbar , who was son of Waltheof , Earl of Dunbar , who was descendant in male line of Gospatric , Earl of Northumbria . His successors controlled the marches , but the title " Earl of March " was only assumed by Patrick IV , Earl of March . Career . Patrick did homage for his lands in England to King Henry III in 1249 . The earl was part of the English faction who opposed the Comyns and in 1255 he and others procured the dismissal of the Comyns and their faction from power . The same year he was nominated Regent and Guardian of the King and Queen . In 1258 the Comyn ' s faction prevailed , and Earl Patrick was excluded from the government . In 1263 he founded a monastery for the Carmelite s or White Friars in Dunbar ; and led the left division of the Scottish army at the battle of Largs the same year . In 1266 when Magnus V of Norway ceded the Isle of Man and the Hebrides to King Alexander III of Scotland , the Earl of Dunbar ' s seal appears on the treaty , signed in Norway in 1266 . Patrick , Earl of Dunbar , was second in the list of thirteen earls who signed the marriage contract of Princess Margaret of Scotland and King Eric of Norway in 1281 . In 1284 he attended the parliament at Scone which declared the Princess Margaret of Norway to be heiress to the Scottish Crown . He died at Whittingehame , and was buried at Dunbar , East Lothian .

The marriages listed above are not consistent with known records . His mother was Cecily ( wife of Patrick II ) . His wife and mother of Cecily of Dunbar that married Alexander Steward was Marjory Comyn , daughter of Alexander Comyn Earl of Buchan . This raises serious questions as to his taking sides against the Clan Comyns and their power for he had married one them and had several children . ( The author of these comments may be confusing Patrick III with his son , Patrick IV . )
