On Monday, 26 February 2024, members of the serving Regiment, the Regimental Trust, and the Regimental Museum and Archive, oversaw the transfer of Sergeant Aubrey Cosens’ Victoria Cross to the Canadian War Museum. While our museum would have been proud to exhibit this valuable piece, we have never been able to display it securely. As a result, it has been held in secure storage for many years.

This historic artifact, important not only to Regimental history but also that of the country, will finally be given the recognition and access that it truly deserves. In due course, it will be added to the Canadian War Museum’s existing Cosens exhibit.
