Not the best, but one of whom I'm proud (and whose name has appeared in Mudcat before now): General Romeo Dallaire.

And, if you're looking for women who have made a difference, I'd suggest Adelaide Hoodless who founded the Women's Institute in Stony Creek, Ontario; a movement which 'made land' in the UK in Angelsey, Wales, BTW.

“A nation cannot rise above the level of its homes, we women must work and study together to raise our homes to the highest level possible.â€쳌 (AH)

It was quite a radical, early feminist idea and did a lot in terms of improving the quality of women's lives and the home environment. And still does, at its best.
