New Canadian Encyclopedia Article: Freeman Freeman-Thomas, 1st Marquess of Willingdon

My latest article in the Canadian Encyclopedia is about Freeman Freeman-Thomas, Baron Willingdon of Ratton and 1st Marquess of Willingdon, governor general of Canada from 1926 to 1931 (born 12 September 1866 in Ratton, United Kingdom; died 12 August 1941 in London, United Kingdom). Willingdon was the first governor general to represent the Canadian Crown rather than the British government following the Balfour Report of 1926. He was also the first to undertake official foreign visits and the first to travel in Canada by air.
