Meritorious Service Medal (civil division)

Roderick Middleton has worked tirelessly towards ensuring that the traditions and history of Princess Patricia=s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) and the soldiers who served in the Regiment will never be forgotten. He greatly contributed to the planning, fundraising, artifact acquisition and preparation and layout of exhibits for the PPCLI Gallery, one of six within the Museum of the Regiments in Calgary, inaugurated in 1990. As a result of Mr. Middleton’s efforts and dedication, the Gallery has developed into a world-class facility and is now considered one of the best military galleries in Canada.
