Rocky town council considers name addition to 49 Street
Rocky Mountain House town council is taking the next step towards renaming a street after one of the area’s most revered war veterans.
They are proposing to change the name of 49 Street to honour R.L Zengel.
The Victoria Cross Foundation submitted the street name request to council on May 31 in honour of Raphael Louis Zengel who served in World War I and received a Victoria Cross medal.
The town’s local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was named after Mr. Zengel, and he donated his Victoria Cross medal to the Legion.
