Le r\u00e9v\u00e9rend major Mike Dalton (5 mai 1902 – 6 avril 2009) \u00e9tait un aum\u00f4nier militaire catholique romain canadien qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 l’aum\u00f4nier catholique romain le plus d\u00e9cor\u00e9 de l’histoire militaire du Canada. En 1939, au d\u00e9but de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le p\u00e8re Mike s’est port\u00e9 volontaire pour rejoindre le Essex Scottish Regiment de l’arm\u00e9e canadienne et a servi le r\u00e9giment en Angleterre, en France, en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et en Allemagne. On pense qu’il est le plus vieux pr\u00eatre catholique du Canada et le plus vieux soldat canadien survivant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le p\u00e8re Mike \u00e9tait connu pour travailler sur les lignes de front des combats militaires et marchait souvent avec son r\u00e9giment, mais ne portait jamais d’arme. Il \u00e9tait connu pour conduire sa jeep, souvent contre les ordres, jusqu’aux premi\u00e8res lignes de combat afin d’entendre les confessions. Le p\u00e8re Mike \u00e9tait avec l’Essex Scottish Regiment lors du raid malheureux de Dieppe en 1942. Il \u00e9tait pr\u00e9sent avec le r\u00e9giment lorsque leurs deux premi\u00e8res tentatives de d\u00e9barquement ont \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9es, mais il a manqu\u00e9 leur troisi\u00e8me tentative de d\u00e9barquement r\u00e9ussie en raison d’une r\u00e9union des aum\u00f4niers. Apprenant que le r\u00e9giment avait d\u00e9barqu\u00e9 sans lui, le P\u00e8re Mike a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00eatre autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9barquer, mais sa demande a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9e. Seuls 44 des 588 hommes qui ont d\u00e9barqu\u00e9 \u00e0 Dieppe sont revenus, les autres ayant \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9s ou captur\u00e9s. Le P\u00e8re Mike se chargea d’\u00e9crire des lettres pour informer les familles des morts. Au total, il estime avoir \u00e9crit 1 000 lettres de ce type pendant la guerre. La plupart \u00e9taient des hommes qu’il connaissait personnellement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1943, \u00e0 l’occasion de l’anniversaire du roi, le p\u00e8re Mike est devenu le premier pr\u00eatre catholique \u00e0 \u00eatre nomm\u00e9 membre de l’Ordre de l’Empire britannique. Cette distinction lui a \u00e9t\u00e9 remise par le roi George VI. Il s’est occup\u00e9 de milliers de Canadiens en r\u00e9adaptation avant de revenir au Canada en 1946. La ville de Windsor l’a nomm\u00e9 v\u00e9t\u00e9ran de l’ann\u00e9e et citoyen de l’ann\u00e9e en 1967, tandis qu’en 2005, la ville de London, en Ontario, a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une \u00ab avenue Father Dalton \u00bb pour honorer ses \u00e9tats de service militaires. Le petit-neveu (et homonyme) du p\u00e8re Mike, Mike Marsman, participe au semi-marathon de la Course de l’Arm\u00e9e 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
