NOU

This collection contains military awards granted in Canada between the years 1916 and 1961. Records typically include the name of the award recipient, the date it was granted, and the title of the award. Some records contain additional information such as rank, regiment, and images.<br><br>Medals serve as significant indicators of Canadian military service during the 19th century due to the challenges in accessing comprehensive service records from that era. Notably, many medals from this period recognized active service, not just bravery. For instance, the North West Canada Medal was granted to all who served in the North West Resistance of 1885. Sourced from Library and Archives Canada, this collection is subject to LAC’s Terms and Conditions.<br><br>
