History
Montreal and Ottawa investment banker F. Stanton Mathewson was born in Winnipeg and graduated from Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. He became chairman of the Montreal Stock Exchange in 1930. He also served in the military during the two world wars. In 1914, he headed overseas with the 13th Battalion of Canada (the Black Watch) where, as a colonel, he was second in command of his regiment; he returned to Canada in 1916, wounded, with a D.S.O. for exceptional gallantry. In 1940, he again enlisted and was in command of troops in training in England until he was invalided home in 1942.
