Pearson was indeed no push-over! We tend to think of him, justifiably, as our Prime Minister who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Those of us who remember even more details than those surrounding his time in office, perhaps then remember his professorship at the University of Toronto. What even fewer are likely to remember, however, is the fact that he was a WWI veteran who had served in active combat.
