This street, renamed after the First World War, is a memorial to the three local winners of the Victoria Cross -- Cpl Leo Clark, Sgt-Maj Frederick William Hall and Lt. Robert Shankland. All three of these men lived on Pine Street, which was renamed Valour Road. The plaque was erected by the Women's Canadian Club of Winnipeg in 1925.
