ISBN:  9780670068210 (hc.) Description:  360 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "Only 71 Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross in WWI. Three of them were from the same street. This is their incredible story"--Cover. Summary:  "The First World War lasted for four years and three months. And when it ended on November 11, 1918, the people of Pine Street, a sleepy avenue on the outskirts of Winnipeg, came to a startling realization. During the course of the conflict, young Leo Clarke, Robert Shankland, and Fred Hall, all from their street, had each received the Victoria Cross, the highest award for bravery at that time. Such a phenomenon has never been repeated anywhere in the former British empire. Author John Nadler constructs a story of the three heroic soldiers, their families, and the enormous impact of WWI on a young Canada. This historic concurrence was so meaningful that a statue was erected in Winnipeg in tribute to these three ordinary soldiers, and their street was renamed Valour Road in their honour"--Provided by publisher.
