Major General Harry Leonard Nowell Salmon MC & Bar (February 9, 1894 – April 29, 1943) was a senior Canadian Army officer who fought in both World War I and World War II.
He was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on February 9, 1894, son of John and Louise Salmon, one of three boys and three girls.
After attending St.
John's College in Winnipeg, he took a position in the employ of the Cockshutt Plow Company as a clerk.
While civilian administrative life wasn't to be his for long, his brief experience would serve him well in later years.
A long military career was about to start for HLN Salmon, as Europe rushed towards war.
