Richardson Cres.
This memorial is dedicated to Authur Herbert Lindsey Richardson-a local North West Mounted Police officer, who won the Victoria Cross in 1900 while serving in the Boer War. On the 5th of July 1900, at Wolve Spruit, a party of Lord Strathcona’s corps, only 38 in number was engaged at close quarters with a party of the enemy.
