These windows were originally constructed for the regimental church in Hemer, West Germany, when the Regular Force battalion of the Fort Garry Horse was stationed there from 1962 to 1966. They were later removed from the church and transported to Winnipeg as a memorial to the regiment's service in Europe.

This memorial wall was dedicated on 12 November 1995 in honour of all the members of the Fort Garry Horse who have died on active service with the regiment since its formation in 1912. The wall displays the battle honours won by the regiment during the two world wars and the names of the deceased members (with the date of their death). In addition to the inscription, the wall depicts the central device from the regimental guidon (including the Fort Garry gate and the regimental motto), and the cap badges used in 1914 and 1939.

Sgt Tommy Prince Street was named in his honour in 1991. A plaque was erected on June 1, 2022, on the mural at the corner of Selkirk Avenue and Sgt. Tommy Prince street commemorating the naming of this street.

Sergeant Tommy Prince was a prominent Anishinaabe activist who served in the Second World War and Korean War. His story is one of the most widely known examples of the wartime contributions of Indigenous soldiers in the mid-20th century and the poor treatment they received upon their return to civilian life in Canada. His accomplishments attracted national media attention during his lifetime and earned him a great many posthumous tributes.

Prince was born in October 1915 in St. Peter's Reserve, Manitoba. He was the great-grandson of respected Ojibwa Chief Peguis, and one of eleven children born to Elizabeth and Henry Prince. In 1920, they moved to Brokenhead Ojibway Nation in Scanterbury, Manitoba. At age five, Prince was forced to leave his community and attend Elkhorn Residential School, where he joined the Cadet Corps. He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from the residential school before he joined the military.

In 1940, he volunteered to fight for Canada in the Second World War. He rose from sapper to lance corporal with the Royal Canadian Engineers before volunteering for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion in 1942. Soon after, he was assigned to the elite 1st Canadian Special Service Battalion, which was attached to the First Special Service Force (Devil’s Brigade). He reached the rank of sergeant by war’s end, and was one of three Canadians to receive both the Silver Star (United States) and the Military Medal. King George VI presented him with both honours during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1945, shortly before Prince’s discharge from the army. 

He wanted to prove his people were as good as any white man and restore their good name. One way to achieve this was to acquire as many medals as possible and he did so without putting his men at risk. Before any patrols he would ensure they were camouflaged and everything was secured. Often he would patrol alone because there would be less noise. Prince was a natural warrior and he excelled as the military developed the skills he learned on the reserve while living off the land. He loved the Devil's Brigade and was always praising his men, "If it wasn't for my men, I wouldn't be who I am today." He was a caring man who loved to joke around and make people laugh.

He was a prominent leader in the Indigenous rights movement of the 1940s. After the war, he served as spokesperson and vice-president of the Manitoba Indian Association, and appeared on its behalf before a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Commons, tasked with studying the Indian Act. During his testimony in 1947, he advocated for the abolition of the Indian Act and respect for existing treaties, and presented submissions from Indigenous in Manitoba, which called for improved schools, better living conditions, and expanded hunting, trapping, and fishing rights.

In 1950, Prince re-enlisted in the Korean War. He contributed to the defence of Hill 677 in the Battle of Kapyong in 1951, for which the United States awarded the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry the Distinguished Unit Citation—the only time a Canadian unit has received this honour. Military service took a heavy toll on his health and, following his honourable discharge from the army, he faced a difficult return to civilian life in Manitoba. Prince endured discrimination, illness, and poverty in the years that followed and died in 1977. He fought many demons after residential school and the horrors of combat, but he never lost his humility, self-worth, sense of humour and pride of being Anishinaabe.

This school was built in 1954. The school was officially opened in September, 1955 by Andrew Mynarski’s mother. The school was named in honour of one of Winnipeg’s war heroes, Andrew Mynarski. Mr. Mynarski, a pilot in the 419th Squadron, the Royal Canadian Air Force, was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for extreme gallantry during the Second World War. On Remembrance Day, November 11, 1965, a memorial service was held for Andrew Mynarski, V.C. at the school named in his honour. Surviving members of his air-crew came from all over Canada and one gave a simple but moving account of Andy’s heroic efforts to rescue a team-mate trapped in their flaming bomber.
