Claxton, Brooke, 1898-1960 : aHon. Brooke Claxton, Cabinet Minister and lawyer, was born in Montreal on August 23. He received his education at Lower Canada College and McGill University, graduating in law in 1921. He served as a battery sergeant-major with the 10th Siege Battery, Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. He practised law in Montreal and was part-time professor of commercial law at McGill until 1944. In 1939 he was created a King's Counsel.

He was elected to the House of Commons in 1940 for St. Lawrence-St. George in Montreal and represented that constituency until he retired in 1954. In 1943 he became parliamentary assistant to Prime Minister King and in 1945 he joined the Cabinet as Minister of Health and Welfare. It was his responsibility to organize that department as well as administer the family allowance plan. In December 1946 he was appointed Minister of National Defence, a post he held until his retirement in 1954. In the defence portfolio, he was responsible for the integration of the army, airforce and navy into one department after the war.

He represented Canada at many international gatherings including the Paris Peace Conference, 1946; the British Commonwealth Conference on Japan at Canberra, 1947; and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization meetings. He was vice-chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Newfoundland and, along with Prime Minister St. Laurent, signed the Terms of Union with Newfoundland on behalf of Canada in 1948.

He became Vice-President and Canadian General Manager of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1954 and served as co-chairman of the Canada Council from 1957 until his death in June 1960.
