Winnipeg Plaques RWR / P.P.C.L.I.

I was at Kapyong Bks in Wpg in the early 90's for a 2 PPCLI change of comd pde, and I had some time to spare, so I wanted to find Valour Road, and I did.

There was a nearby McDonalds, so I got a take-away, and parked on Valour Road, and had my feed.

I can remember a small NFB viginette (sp) about all the three lads who were awarded the VC coming from the same neighbourhood. A few minutes long colour production, and it used to play every November on the TV. I hope it still does.

That is such a good story, and one of the best I have ever seen/read, and although I am 20,000km from my place of birth, it still makes on feel proud to be Canadian.

Hi Wes,

I don't remember ever seeing that film. Do you remember the name of that little "vignette" ?

I'm glad your Canadian roots go deep in your heart In Windy-Peg popl don't waste time brushing their hair because the wind is non-stop in Spring! Bad-Hair season and
Scattering of seeds (and garbage... but the street cleaners have finally started sweeping up the sands and stuff thats left after winter thaw.

Take care,
