Remember: keep history alive. Because where memory endures, valour lives on.

Thank you for walking with me.

Help keep these stories alive!

Memory and Valour is a labour of love. Hours in the archives, reading multiple books, at the Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum, and behind the microphone – all so that the people this city, and Canada, sent to war aren’t forgotten.

I keep it free and ad-free because everyone deserves these stories, not just those who can pay for them.

If this walk meant something to you, please buy me a coffee! Your support goes straight back into the research and the recording behind every story.

Thank you for walking with me, and for helping to keep history alive. Where memory endures, valour lives on.
