History

Lieutenant Colonel Royal L.H. Ewing was a prominent member of the Montreal business community. He and his brother A. Stuart Ewing established the Montreal real estate and insurance firm of Ewing & Ewing before the war in 1906, continuing the work of their late father. He was a member of many social and sport clubs and organizations, including the Art Association of Montreal. A highly decorated World War I veteran, commander of the 42nd Battalion of the Royal Highlanders (Black Watch), the lieutenant colonel was awarded the Military Cross for “conspicuous gallantry” in 1916 and the Distinguished Service Order and its Bar in 1917-1918; he also received the French Legion d’Honneur Croix de Chevalier. During World War II, he was involved with the administration of the Montreal division of the Corps Commissionaires that guarded the Port of Montreal against sabotage.
