Canada remembers - Second World War Victoria Cross winners .: V32-387/2005E-PDF
"The Victoria Cross is the highest award for military valour that can be won by a Canadian. It was introduced by Queen Victoria in 1856 as the premier award for military gallantry for a subject of the British Empire (and later for citizens in the British Commonwealth). Over the years, 94 Canadians have been awarded this very prestigious medal, 16 of them during the Second World War"--Introduction, p. [1].
