Lieutenant Ike Horwitz, U.S. Army, was Colonel Irving Morrell's aide-de-camp in Kamloops, British Columbia during the period of 1926-1933 when Morrell was on occupation duty in Canada. In February 1927, Horwitz received German Lieutenant Colonel Heinz Guderian and his orderly, a sergeant who did not give his name. Horwitz did not like the orderly, who was quite snide about Horwitz' Jewish heritage. The man reminded Morrell of Confederate politician Jake Featherston.
Horwitz often acted as a sounding board for Morrell's frustration with the Socialist presidential administrations of Upton Sinclair and Hosea Blackford.
