LONDON lCPl Charlue Loewcn took over as ad- jutant - general of the British army. a senior staff officer at the war office quipped:

"Haul down the Union Jack and run up a Maple Leaf."

it was the army's way of say- ing that despite spending 38 of his 56 years as an officer in the ser- vice, Vancouver - born Gen. Sir Charles Falkland Loewen still re- mains very much a Canadian- and is not averse to letting any- one know it.

He is the first Canadian lo oc- cupy the o'ficc of adjutani-gem eral. one of the highest posts in the British army, and the first person from the Commonwealth's senior dominion to sit as a mem- box of the United Kingdom's army council.

Six fcct tall and broad shoul- dered. he looks every inch the professional soldier from the tips of his mirror-polished shoes to his close-cropped sandy hair. A first- class administrator. he has a reputation for cutting through red tape to get things done in a hurry.

Men who have served under him describe the general as a "tough but fair" dlsciplinarian.

But in A service where most members speak with a broad "a". one of the generalis most striking characteristics is his Canadian accent. It was not always so.

Born in Vancouver in 1900, Loewen received his early educa- tion in British Columbia. But his father. Charles J. Loewen. who still lives in Vancouver, wanted his son educated at his old school in England.

So in lgll, young Charles en- rolled at Halleybury College in Hertfordshire. one of England's foremost ublic schools. ACQUIRE ACCENT

Loewen picked up a marked English ac- cent-a fact that was forcibly brought to his attention when he enrolled in the Royal Military College at Klngston' 0ni.. at the start of the First Wdrid War.

Col. R. D. Roe, head of the Canadian department of defence production in London and a class- mate of Loewen's at RMC. re calls that the young Halleybury student was "kidded unmerci- fully" about his English accent.

Still 17 when he graduated from RMC. Loewen was told he was too young to serve overseas with Canada's armed forces. so he re signed his commission and made his own way to Britain. enlisting as a second lieutenant, Royal Field Artillery. on Sept. 17. 1910 --his llilh birthday.
