Winston Macmillan

Major Winston Macmillan commanded the Royal American Mounted Police detachment based in Prince Rupert. He and his subordinates had responsibility for policing the northern part of the province of Vancouver.

In 1995 Macmillan arranged for six RAMs in dress reds to be available to meet the Northern Lights and act as pallbearers for the coffin of Lt. Colonel Felix Crooke, killed in a gun battle with the Sons of Liberty. He took over responsibility for Crooke from Colonel Thomas Bushell who was in pursuit of the stolen The Two Georges.

Macmillan also assisted Bushell in making arrangements for him and his adjutant, Capt. Samuel Stanley, to travel to Doshoweh in The Six Nations. After reviewing the options, Bushell decided to take the train back to Prince George. From there, he would connect to the Northern Rockies Special and travel to Regina. In Regina he would take an airship to Astoria where he would change airships and take a second one to Doshoweh. The connections were tight, especially as Astoria's airship port was notorious for delays, but Bushell felt the risks of delay were worth getting to The Six Nations as quickly as possible.
