THE QUEEN'S OWN CAMERON HIGHLANDERS OF CANADA
1910 - 2010
In recognition of Manitoba's citizen soldiers of many origins who
served with the Regiment, in peace and war, since it was raised by
the Scottish community of Winnipeg, February 1, 1910. Cameron
battalions served with valour and distinction in World War I and
World War II. Other volunteers have served with United Nations
and NATO missions in Korea, Cyprus, Middle East, the former
Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. At home, Camerons helped fight the
1950, 1979, and 1997 Red River floods, contribute to the cultural
life of Manitoba and continue the Regiment's tradition of unassuming
service, dedication and loyalty to Canada.

Winged Victory was erected by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the memory of its employees who were killed during the First World War. It was unveiled by Lieutenant Governor James Albert Manning Aikins on 28 April 1922. The Winged Victory (also referred to as Angel of Victory) stood before Winnipeg's Canadian Pacific Railway Station at 181 Higgins Avenue. In 1989, the monument was moved to the Canadian Pacific office building on Henry Street. It was moved to its current location at Deer Lodge on Portage Avenue in June 2003.
The Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned three Winged Victory statues from Montreal sculptor Coeur de Lion MacCarthy to commemorate the 1,116 employees it lost in the First World War. All three statues were unveiled simultaneously on the same date. The statue depicts an angel carrying a deceased soldier to heaven at the moment of his death. The angel originally held a laurel wreath, the symbol of victory, in her upraised hand. The other two identical memorials are in Montreal and Vancouver.
After the Second World War, the dates 1939-1945 were added and after the Korean War, the dates 1950-1953 were added to the inscription.
Coeur de Lion MacCarthy, the son of sculptor Hamilton McCarthy, produced numerous commemorative works after the First World War, including: Winged Victory in British Columbia; Great War Memorial and Lethbridge Cenotaph in Alberta; Winged Victory in Manitoba; County of Brome War Memorial, Verdun Victory Memorial, Monument to the Brave and Winged Victory in Quebec; Clifton Hill War Memorial and Woodstock Cenotaph in Ontario.

ROLL OF HONOUR
DEPARTMENTS.
CITY OF WINNIPEG EMPLOYEES
WOUNDED ⊕, PRISONER ◊, KILLED †, DECORATED *
This Roll of Honour was created by James A. McCormick, a draftsman with the City of Winnipeg Engineering Department. It was hung in the corridors of City Hall until it was transferred to the Archives for safekeeping.
The City of Winnipeg Employees First World War Roll of Honour is a painted list of names of City of Winnipeg Employees who served in the First World War. The list consists of 739 names, each stating what City department they were from, and each marked with a symbol beside them to indicate whether they were taken as a prisoner of war, wounded, killed, or decorated. The list is surrounded by a border of leaves that feature the coat of arms of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, as well as that of the City of Winnipeg in front of two flags: the Union Jack and the Canadian Red Ensign. Above the list is a painting of a battlefield scene.
