3. museum displays erected to commemorate
fallen Veterans.

to Veterans or to commemorate specific memorial
events. This could include street blades/signs

collectively or individually, as blanket-use permission
will not be granted;
ii. street blades/signs recognizing Veterans in general,
such as Veterans Way;
iii. street blades/signs named in honour of individual
Veterans. Proposals must include authenticated
background information on each Veteran to be

identifiable as such by preceding the name with their
rank or following it with their military unit, regiment
or elemental affiliation (abbreviations acceptable).

donating branch and employ the Legion badge vice the
