VALOUR REMEMBERED, SOUVENIRS DE VAILLANCE: Canadians in Korea, An English/French Publication by Veteran Affairs Canada, is a bilingual historical booklet by Patricia Giesler that chronicles Canada’s military contributions during the Korean War (1950–1953) as part of the United Nations Command.
The text provides an accessible overview of the conflict's origins before detailing the deployment and active service of the Canadian Army Special Force, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Through historical narrative, maps, and archival photographs, the publication highlights the harsh terrain, severe winter conditions, and major battles—most notably the Battle of Kapyong—faced by the more than 26,000 Canadians who served. Finally, the booklet reflects on the signing of the armistice, the enduring legacy of the 516 Canadians who lost their lives, and the ongoing importance of remembering their sacrifice.
