Major Ghislain Sauvé, a construction engineering officer based at CFB Borden, was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony last November. Only eight Canadians have ever been awarded the MBE.
Major Sauvé was on an exchange with the Royal Engineers from 2000 to 2004. During that time he deployed with his new unit to Jordan, Afghanistan and Iraq.
I first saw this mentioned in this Macleans article on Canadians in Iraq but there are other articles:
here, in the January 2006 issue of the Maple Leaf (which also has a picture of CDS General Hillier in the uniform of a Guardsman while taking part in the changing of the guard ceremony in Ottawa), and on the Airforce website.
