Andrew Gault
Brigadier-General The Rt. Hon. (Andrew) Hamilton Gault (18 August 1882 – 28 November 1958) M.P., D.S.O., raised at his own expense Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, the last privately raised regiment in the British Empire. Hatch Court in Somerset (the home he purchased from the aunt of his second wife) today houses a small museum commemorating Gault's military career. From 1924 to 1935 he was the Conservative Member of Parliament (UK) for Taunton, Somerset. Returning to Quebec after World War Two, Gault vigilantly defended his estate of Mont Saint-Hilaire from expropriation by mining interests and bequeathed it to McGill University to help ensure its preservation.
