WINNIPEG – A tribute to three Winnipeg heroes of the First World War was named Mural of the Year by the Murals of Winnipeg web site on June 25.

Located at the corner of Ellice Avenue and Valour Road, the work by artist Charlie Johnston commemorates the bravery of Leo Clarke, Frederick William Hall and Robert Shankland who were awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military award in the Commonwealth. Incredibly, all three men lived on Pine Street in the West End, which was later renamed Valour Road in their honour.
