Twoards the end of the war he
was promoted to Lieutenant-
Colonel and was given command
of the Cameron Highlanders of
Ottawa. At the war’s end he
stayed on in Germany with the
occupation forces and par-
ticipated in the disarmament of
Germany and the rehabilitation
of the country.

‘‘We were responsible for
separating the ordinary citizens
from those who had committed
war crimes and were wanted: by
various countries,’’ he said. Their
duties also involved getting
schools started again and
carrying out the administration
of the city in which they were
-posted.

After’ a year’ in Germany,
General Tedlie returned: to
Canada and attended the Royal
Military College in Kingston as a
student. From there he was sent
to Fort. Churchill, Manitoba
where he was commander of the
Canadian Forces Arctic Ex-
perimental] Establishment.

“Tt was a fascinating job,” he
said. ‘‘We were working with the
R.C.A.F.,..the:. Navy, — the
American Army Arctic team, as
well as with civilians from
various disciplines.”

They. were involved in cold.
testing: all American. ‘and

Canadian ground’ force equip-'

ment, the effect of temperature
and wind on jet engines, the ef-
fect of cold on. human. beings,

Arctic clothing, mosquito control:

and. all aspects of Arctic living.
From there General Tedlie

returned to Ottawa as director of

Arctic and. specialized warfare

member ..of the International
Control Commission in Viet Nam.

Tedlie explained that their
purpose was to try. and’ ensure a

stable climate in which a political

solution could be worked out. |

Command. of the. Canadian
Land Forces in. Germany was
General Tedlie's next assignment
and one: which he. enjoyed im-
mensely,.)

“Tt was: interesting being back
in. Germany. again and. working
on the same team as the Ger-

-mans under NATO command,"
he commented, “TI believe NATO
is a good thing," he added, ‘‘We
are a’ North Atlantic oriented
country,"

he spent eighteen. months and

General and became Deputy. Cief
of Defense Staff for intelligence

assignment with. the Canadian
Forces and in his words ‘‘most
fascinating.’’ He was right in the
thick of the F\L.Q.. crisis and
summed up by saying, ‘I have
always had pride in the Canadian
forces but I was never more
proud than during the crisis."

retirement General Tedlie and

to British Columbia and. after
driving .all over the Island
decided to settle on the Saanich
Peninsula. . They. bought: some
