Read More	George Howard Mathieson (also known as George Edward Mathieson) was in the army in the early part of World War I. He joined the 45th Battalion, 1st Canadian Military Reserve which took him overseas. During a battle in 1916 he was wounded which caused his capture. After two years as a prisoner of war in Switzerland, he returned home to Brandon. His status as veteran brought him the privilege of getting a civil servant's job as a guard at the Brandon Gaol. At this time the Gaol was a detention centre for persons sentenced to two years less a day, although from time to time more hardened criminals were housed for several days en route to Stoney Mountain Penitentiary. He married in 1921, had three daughters, and by 1928 was promoted to Governor of the Gaol. In May 1936, four prisoners escaped from the gaol. Following the escape and recovery of the prisoners George Mathieson was replaced as Governor. He continued to work at the gaol as a guard until he retired in 1951.
