Captain Edward T Brown - Boulton's Scouts - Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

The ornate memorial was dedicated in the late 19th century to the memory of those local volunteers who fought in the battles of Batoche and Fish Creek, and in particular, to Capt Brown, a local soldier who died during that battle.

He was a volunteer member of Boulton's Scouts, also known as Boulton's Mounted Infantry.

Almost 130 federal and rebel members died with well over 100 wounded before hostilities ended. A brief history of the rebellion may be found here:
