On 1 February 2010, Canada Post will issue a postage stamp commemorating Royal Navy Naval Brigade Victoria Cross recipient, Able Seaman William Hall. He was decorated for gallantry at Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny on 16 November 1857. Nova Scotia-born William Hall (1827-1904) was the son of freed American slaves.
