PARTIAL DESCRIPTION FROM THE BIOGRAPHY: LIEUT.-COLONEL W. D. OTTER, A.D.C. The officer who raised and commanded the Royal Canadian Regiment, and to whom, therefore, so much of the credit is due for its soldierlike performances, was none other than Lieut. -Colonel William Dillon Otter. Colonol Otter is a Canadian by birth. Early in life he associated himself with the militia movement, and so distinguished himself by his zeal and aptitude that in due course he was taken on to the list of the General Staff Here his qualities soon marked him out as one to be ,trusted, so that in the operations for the suppression of the Rhiel rebellion he accompanied Lieut.-General Sir Frederick Middleton into the field, and acquitted himself with so much credit that he was noted afterwards for the command of a District. For this he had not long to wait, as a vacancy having occurred in No. 2 Military District on April ist, 1886, he was offered and accepted it. His command embraced the Province of Toronto, where he has remained ever since, having the status of a Colonel on the Staff. His services have been further recognised by his appointment as Honorary Aide-de-Catnp to the Governor-General.
