Description

Portraits of Valour tells the stories of World War II veterans from Western Toronto, including numerous photographs and their portraits, as painted by the artist, Murray Saint. Murray Saint painted more than 80 portraits of WWII veterans, which he would take to local schools in Etobicoke and Mississauga, telling the children of the veterans who lived in their neighbourhood.  The veterans would often accompany him to speak of their own experiences.  Murray developed a mobile museum to allow the kids to see real uniforms and artifacts from the war. He began to record the stories in book form with the assistance of Al McOrmond in 2000.  When Murray passed away his grandson, Patrick Busby, continued to work with Al to finish the book, Portraits of Valour. This important book of local history is in honour of Murray Saint.
