Marshal Cleland
William Marshal Cleland (June 14, 1912 – November 5, 1958) was a Canadian equestrian champion.His grandfather and father—a successful distillery executive and horse breeder—were both named William, so he was known by his middle name, which he was given in honour of Hamilton's Billy Marshall, a long-distance runner.In 1937, at the age of 25, and while serving as a lieutenant in the Governor General of Canada's guard, Cleland and the Canadian Army equestrian team won 10 international championships, including four at the New York horse show at Madison Square Garden, three at the Chicago horse show, and three at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.[1] That earned him the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada's top athlete of 1937.He served in the Canadian military during the Second World War and later worked at a stock brokerage in Toronto.
