Leif Newry Fitzroy Crozier

Leif Newry Fitzroy Crozier (* June 11, 1846 probably in Newry, Northern Ireland, † February 25, 1901 in Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery Newry Fitzroy Crozier actually ), known as LNF Crozier, was a Canadian officer of the North - West Mounted Police, who was known for his role in the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 in the present-day Canadian province of Saskatchewan, then part of the Northwest Territories.

On March 26, 1885 Crozier led a group of about 100 mounted police ( NWMP ) and volunteers from Prince Albert of Fort Carlton, to confront the rebel Métis at Duck Lake in what is now Saskatchewan. In the following Battle of Duck Lake, the NWMP was applied by the Métis. Crozier's role during the progress of the rebellion was rather low; his men remained most of the time in Battleford, Saskatchewan. Despite this, he was promoted on April 1 to Assistant Commissioner of the NWMP, an office which he held until his forced retirement in 1886. He spent his remaining years as a merchant and banker in Oklahoma, where he died in Cushing on February 25, 1901 of a heart attack.
