The Mural of Honour comprises 240 separate images in a 20-foot by 12-foot mosaic. The 240 tiles that represent Canada’s military history from the Battle of 1812 to present day operations are highlighted by the interactive display. The collective stories reveal the different theatres of war Canadians have been involved in for over nearly 200 years, including both overseas and domestic operations. This ongoing project continues to be a work in progress, as more historical material, sponsor's stories, and writer's documents are added to this growing and significant tribute. Who erected the memorial?

Thirteen tiles were painted by guest artists, including five works of art by original war artists of the Second World War. As part of the Mural project, the Military Museums was honoured to have five official war artists and four guest artists accept our invitation to submit paintings for The Military Museums Mural of Honour: Bill Bewick, Bruno Bobak, Molly Lamb Bobak, Frank Leonard Brooks, Patrick Cowley-Brown, Don Connolly, Paul Houle, Robert Hyndman, Tag Kim. All other images were painted by Lewis Lavoie over a two-year period. The Mural project was launched in November 2005 to raise funds for the Founders’ Gallery at the Military Museums. The Mural was installed partially completed in the foyer of the Military Museums in Calgary in November 2006. After many months of work, the completed mural was unveiled on 9 November 2007.

The collective stories reveal the different theatres of war Canadians have been involved in for over nearly 200 years, including both overseas and domestic operations.

The Let's Go statue honours Veterans of the Korean War. Duncan McNeill approached the museum and offered to fund a statue that commemorated the service of Korean War Veterans. Duncan funded the statue in honour of his brother Private Malcolm McNeill, who served in Korea as a member of the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. The statue was unveiled on April 25, 2003, quite a special day in Canadian history - the anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong.

Major (Ret’d) Rod Middelton, Platoon Commander, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, was one of the movers of the statue initiative. He designed the statue and provided the technical advice to the artists on the soldier’s dress and equipment throughout the statue’s creation. The statue was created by renowned bronze sculptor Don Begg of Studio West Bronze Foundry Ltd. The soldier is rising from a crouched observer’s position in the rocky terrain of Korea and signaling his unit forward to mount another attack during the battle of Kapyong. The soldier is in the full battle dress of the 2^nd Battalion of  the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Begg used a 1960 - 70 photo of a Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry Junior Leader waving his men forward. In the original photo, the Infantry Junior Leader is in cold weather kit.

This memorial was dedicated at Currie Barracks to the personnel of No. A-16 Canadian Infantry Training Centre who died in the Second World War. On 15 February 1941, the army training centre at Currie Barracks was designated No. A-16. It was primarily tasked with the training of individual soldiers rather than the collective training of formed units. Later in the war, the focus of this individual training was for National Resources Mobilization Act. The Centre remained in operation well after the war ended.

The No. A-16 Canadian Infantry Training Centre Second World War Memorial was moved to The Military Museums.

On 15 July 1968, this field was designated Rifles Field to commemorate the service of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. Formed 26 April 1860, The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada is Canada’s oldest continuously serving infantry regiment. Since then, its members have served in every significant conflict in which Canadians have participated.

Currie Barracks was the home station of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada from 10 June 1946 until 10 December 1958 when Hamilton Gault Barracks in Edmonton was designated the Home Station. In October 1968, the First Battalion returned to Currie Barracks and it was again designated the home station of the Regiment. In addition to the First Battalion, Regimental Headquarters, the Regimental Museum, and Regimental Band were accommodated within Currie Barracks.

This memorial is dedicated to members of the EME Branch and its predecessors. It was erected by RCEME Association of Alberta.

In the foreground is a memorial tank of the Fort Garry Regiment. In the background is the front of the Museum of the Regiments that was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on June 30, 1990. During the opening the Queen viewed Canadian war art and a collection of Harry Palmer's photographs of Canadian veterans and their memorials.

This memorial was erected in 1967 by surviving members of the 137th Canadian Infantry Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force in honour of those who served in the battalion during the First World War. On the back of the memorial these is a depiction of the battalion's cap badge.

Dedicated on 11 August 1989 by the Colonel-in-Chief of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, this memorial is dedicated to the memory of the war dead of the founding regiments of the museum.

This memorial, the Canadian Peacekeepers Roll of Honour, lists the names of Canadians killed on peacekeeping duty.

This memorial, erected by the Manitoba Association of the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), is dedicated to the members of the regiment killed since 1900.
