Mike Dalton

Michael Joseph Dalton, MBE, MC (May 5, 1902 – April 6, 2009) was a Canadian Roman Catholic military chaplain who was the most decorated RC Padre in history of Canada's military. Dalton was known to drive his jeep, often against orders, to the front lines of combat in order to hear confessions.

In the 1943 King's Birthday Honours, Dalton became the first Catholic priest to be appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire. The award was given to him by King George VI. The city of Windsor named Dalton as the Veteran of the Year and Citizen of the Year in 1967, while the City of London, Ontario created a "Father Dalton Drive" to honor his military record.
