Celebrate three Canadian Victoria Cross recipients with this Permanent
TM
domestic rate stamp from the Valour Road stamp issue.
Canada Post has long celebrated Canadian heroes and honoured the bravery and determination of our soldiers.
Our stamps feature Canadian courage in battle, our roles as allies in World Wars and in that, our desire for peace.
In this special stamp issue, we honour three Canadian First World War soldiers who were recipients of the seldom-awarded
Victoria Cross (Britain’s highest honour for bravery in combat). Each lived on Winnipeg’s Pine Street at one point in their lives:
Corporal Lionel (Leo) Clarke, VC, Lieutenant Robert Shankland, VC, DCM, and Company Sergeant Major Frederick William Hall VC.
In recognition of the three heroes, Pine Street was officially renamed Valour Road in 1925.
A commemorative plaza erected nearby in 2005 features a stone monument in the shape of the Victoria Cross and
three steel silhouettes honouring the soldiers of Valour Road.
The stamp design features the three heroes, the Victoria Cross medal, the silhouette created to mark their courage,
and artistic interpretations of their homes on the former Pine Street.
