Douglas GUNTER,
Army
Officer: 1921-2005
Artillery officer who experienced savage fighting in the liberation
of Europe was years later lauded as a 'gallant base commander'
who played host to the Royal Family
By Buzz BOURDON,
Thursday,
April 14, 2005, Page S9
Special to The Globe and Mail
Ottawa -- Colonel Douglas
GUNTER loved organizing things, so
when National Defence Headquarters told him in 1972 to expect
a Royal visit to Canadian Forces Base Shilo, he found himself
in his element. For three months, he was everywhere, planning,
inspecting and double-checking everything. He resolved that Shilo,
the home station of the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery,
would be in tip-top shape for a visit to Manitoba by the Queen,
Prince Philip, the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne.
Even his own family was involved. A possible rail strike meant
they might have to be evicted to house the Royal Family. "When
I told them that we might be moving out to make room for royalty,
the children thought that would be exciting, while my wife, with
her Irish heritage, was less enthusiastic," Mr.
GUNTER wrote
in a 1993 family memoir.
His daughter, Anne
BRIGHAM, who was 10 at the time, recalled
the havoc. "German shepherds were brought in to sniff for bombs.
My mother's silver tea service was replaced by 'something better.'
She was offended!"
The family was instructed on etiquette, she said. "I had to curtsey
to the Queen, Prince Philip, Charles and Anne; my brother had
to bow. My mother was a good girl and did what she was told for
my father's sake."
Finally, the big day arrived on July 13, 1970. Father and daughter
made a final tour of the base at 9 a.m. to see that everything
was ready. Then the weather, the one thing beyond Mr.
GUNTER's
control, went haywire. Appalled, he could only watch in horror
as the clouds unleashed lightning, thunder and pelting rain on
the royal enclosure. "Vicious rains were soon blowing chairs,
bunting and children horizontally across the prairie," he wrote.
In due course, the Royal Family arrived and took their places
on a reviewing stand to watch paratroopers from the Canadian
Airborne Regiment make a free-fall parachute jump. Other soldiers
then demonstrated rappelling by sliding down ropes from a hovering
helicopter. That's when the spit hit the fan. Unexpectedly, backwash
from the helicopter struck with a prolonged blast of air. Hats
went flying and soldiers arrived at a dead run to steady the
dangerously teetering structure.
A young Princess Anne managed "to hang on to her hat while her
lime-green mini-skirt was flying in all directions. The ever-alert
members of the media rushed with their cameras to the front of
the stand to capture the royal thigh on film," wrote Mr.
GUNTER.
Reacting quickly, he shielded her with his umbrella, earning
him transatlantic kudos as "the gallant base commander, protecting
the modesty of the young princess."
"Not since the days of Sir Walter Raleigh 400 years ago has such
gallantry been seen," one newspaper reported.
Doug GUNTER had joined the army in 1939 and attended the University
of New Brunswick. He was posted to 12 Field Regiment, Royal Canadian
Artillery. He landed in Normandy shortly after D-Day in 1944
and fought his way across France, Belgium, the Netherlands and
into Germany.
In February of 1945, he took part in a major operation to clear
the west bank of the Rhine River for the drive into Germany.
The attack opened with 1,200 guns in the biggest artillery barrage
of the war. "My guns started firing high explosive at 0400 hours
the continual flashes of gunfire meant you could read a paper
anywhere," he wrote. "We continued firing until 1600 hours."
Retired Major-General Reg
WEEKS of Ottawa first met Doug
GUNTER
during the autumn of 1944. Operating about 150 metres behind
the fighting, Mr.
GUNTER was acting as a forward observation
officer, recording the fall and effect of artillery and calling
in corrections amid the noise and confusion. A wrong move could
mean untold casualties by friendly fire.
"I never knew him to make a mistake in bringing down artillery
fire in the right place and the right time," said Mr.
WEEKS.
Those desperate months remained with Mr.
GUNTER for the rest
of his life. "Our gun positions were usually littered with the
purple, bloated bodies of horses, cows, pigs and enemy soldiers."
He never did become accustomed to the discovery of body parts.
"I remember doing a reconnaissance for a gun position near a
Dutch farm house. I discovered a teenaged girl and started to
question her when artillery shells started to fall. We both dove
for shelter in different areas. When the shelling stopped, I
found [her] decapitated body in the farm yard. That I found very
disturbing."
After the war, Mr.
GUNTER transferred to the regular army, moving
his#17 times before he retired in 1974 as director of
artillery. He served in Canada, Korea, Germany, Britain and Cyprus.
Mr. GUNTER spent the next 10 years as the executive director
of the Canadian Figure Skating Association.
Douglas Hayward
GUNTER was born on March 22, 1921, in Saint John,
New Brunswick He died of cancer on March 4, 2005, in Ottawa.
He was 83. He leaves his wife, Josephine, children Anne and Richard,
sister Dorothy and brother Harold.
