About
Sir Frederick William Borden was born in Cornwallis Township, Nova Scotia, Canada. He was a Canadian politician. While he was the Minister for Militia and Defence, he was the father of the most famous Canadian casualty of the Second Boer War Harold Lothrop Borden. Historians credit him with creating and financing a modernized Canadian army with a staff and medical, transport, and signals that proved as vital in war as the infantry, cavalry, and artillery they served. He thus created the foundation for the Canadian armies of 1914–1918 and 1939–1945. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of King's College in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1866. He earned a M.D. in 1868 from Harvard Medical School and practiced as a physician in Canning, Nova Scotia.
