Doug Wheeler Tourism Award

----------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction Doug Wheeler was a Provincial civil servant known to many as "Mr. Tourism". This award commemorates his efforts to promote Newfoundland and Labrador as a tourism destination, and the high standards he employed while doing so. Mr. Wheeler passed away in 1981 while still an employee of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

This award is sponsored by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and is given to the person or group who has done the most in the past year to develop or promote the tourism industry in this province. It may also be awarded to recognize longstanding service in the industry. The award is presented annually during the Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador Convention.

Notes
General:

070703:

I am not absolutely certain that this child is the daughter of Jane Wheeler, daughter of Joseph and Mary Hannah, however it seems likely as she would have been 17 at the time and there are no other Jane Wheelers listed at St. Thomas's of child bearing age at that time. If so, this is a child born out of wedlock (no father listed on baptismal record) that the family did not talk about. Mom is not aware of the existence of this child though she is aware that Jane's simple minded sister Clara bore at least one child out of wedlock.

270710: Scanned record at PANL. Most likely her employer was the father of the child since no name is mentioned and is more than likely a married man.

Notes
General:

Captain E. C. "NED" Wheeler MM, CD, ED WHEELER, Edward Carson, Sergeant (F29715) -

Military Medal -

Armour (22 Canadian Armoured Regiment, Canadian Grenadier Guards) - awarded as per Canada Gazette and Canadian Army Routine Order 5953, both dated 11 August 1945. Recommended for immediate award on 23 April 1945; document with Headquarters 4 Canadian Armoured Brigade, 24-26 April 1945; with Headquarters, 4 Canadian Armoured Division, 29 April to 16 May 1945; with Headquarters, 2 Canadian Corps, 16-26 May 1945; with Headquarters, First Canadian Army, 27 May to 14 June 1945. The unedited draft located the precise crossing point at Map Reference 1399 and the road junction at Map Reference 110944.

On 14 April 1945, Sergeant Wheeler was commanding No.3 Troop of No.3 Squadron, 22 Canadian Armoured Regiment. This troop was under command "B" Company, Lake Superior Regiment (Motor) which had been given the task of forcing a crossing of the Kusten Canal. The first objective of this small force was a road junction. At last light, with tanks leading, the column came under fire from two self-propelled 75-mm guns carefully sited to command the bend in the road. At that moment, Sergeant Wheeler's tank was put out of action by a mine. From the volume of machine gun fire which was now being directed along this stretch of road, it was obvious than an infantry attack could only result in a waste of vital time and in heavy casualties. In an instant Sergeant Wheeler had crossed the bullet-swept ground to his second tank, had mounted it and was carrying straight on. Although unable to deploy to any degree because of the sift ground on either side of the road, he did not hesitate but charged straight into the enemy positions, all guns in his troop blazing. His orders came over the air crisp and entirely calm, belying the fierceness of the opposition and inspiring all ranks that supreme confidence so essential to the success of such an action.. Overwhelmed by the suddenness and fierceness of this bold move, the bazooka screen intended to protect the guns were beaten into the ground and the guns themselves were forced to pull out back across the canal.

This Non-Commissioned Officer's coolness under fire, his absolute disregard for his personal safety and the bold spirit of his leadership brought the remainder of his troop unscathed through an inferno of fire. The road was opened to the canal and the advance of 4 Canadian Armoured Brigade continued. <LastPostWheeler.html> <LastPostWheeler.html> <index.html> <index.html>
