'I feel like a young man': 94-year-old vet expelled from legion wins reinstatement


After the war, Jackson was stationed in various countries, only to be injured in a live-fire explosion in 1948. In 2016, at 90, he became president of the Shalom Branch. The Royal Canadian Legion Shalom Branch 178 in Vancouver is now under trusteeship, due to a split over Jackson's expulsion. But two lawyers stepped forward to help Jackson fight the decision. Ed Fitch, a retired major-general who supported Jackson's fight for reinstatement, says antiquated legion regulations must change.
