Lieutenant-colonel Samuel Simpson Sharpe
A prominent Uxbridge lawyer, Sharpe was first elected to the House of Commons in 1908. When war broke out he raised a battalion of men from around Durham Region and led them into such famous battles as Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele and Avion. Lt.-Col. Sharpe, who was a sitting MP when he was sent home from the battlefield with a diagnosis of nervous shock and ended up committing suicide at his Montreal hospital. Due to the manner of his death, and the lack of understanding of mental injuries at the time, Sharpe’s name was virtually erased from history. The story has been revived in recent years as a cautionary tale around the military’s past treatment of mental injuries suffered by soldiers. A life-size statue of the soldier by Wynn Walters was erected on the corner of Brock and Toronto streets in downtown Uxbridge in 2018.

Durham Region put in a request in 2015 with the Attorney General to rename the Durham Region Courthouse after Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Sharpe. In 1915, Sharpe, then a major, raised the 116th Battalion while second in command of the Oshawa-based Ontario Regiment. The new regiment, which saw action in Belgium and France, was made up of more than 1,100 men from Ontario County – much of which is now Durham Region.

During construction, which is expected to last up to 10 years, the statue will be on loan to the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Centre of Excellence at Ottawa’s Royal Hospital.

Durham MP Erin O’Toole, who was then veterans affairs minister, spearheaded the campaign to have him recognized in parliament alongside Baker. The bronze relief, which was commissioned by the former Conservative Durham MP Erin O’Toole as a memorial to the fallen MP was erected in November 2018.
