CWO Jim Oakley was an active member of the regiment in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. At all levels throughout his career, CWO Oakley has been an example of professionalism and an outstanding leader. He was an example to the troop of righteousness and integrity. He was also an avid sportsman and encouraged physical fitness. Sadly, CWO Oakley passed away from a heart attack in 1983 during his term as Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) of the Sherbrooke Hussars. Following his death, the officers and senior NCOs of the regiment decided to commemorate CWO Oakley's memory by presenting a trophy to the troop in his name.
As CWO Oakley was an outstanding leader, they chose the first level of leadership to be recognized, the Master Corporal. The OAKLEY MEMORIAL TROPHY was first awarded to the Master Corporal of the Year in 1983 to MCpl Richard Cathcart by LCol Marshall.
