| | Indonesia Honors McNaughton |
 | | Recipients of the McNaughton Medal are outstanding Canadian engineers recognized for their important contributions to the engineering profession. |
 | | By all accounts, Gen. McNaughton, a native of Moosomin, Sask., (then NWT) was a formidable man. In his 79 years, the father of five made his mark as an engineer, war hero, parliamentarian and diplomat. |
 | | Against this turbulent background, Gen. McNaughton presented what became known as the Canadian Proposal, which created the UN Commission on Indonesia that led, in December, 1949, to the full transfer of sovereignty from the Dutch. |
