Henri Richard has been is memorialized in St. Boniface, Manitoba, with his name on a monument dedicated to francophone soldiers of Manitoba.
The monument was unveiled in 1920, displaying the names of those that were lost in World War 1. Sometime later, the names of those lost in World War II were added to a panel on the back of the monument. Henri Richard’s name is included.
There is a very good description of the war memorial on the Manitoba Historical Society web page:
Located in the west end of the St. Boniface Cathedral Cemetery, this monument is known as “Le Poilu,” a word for French soldiers during the First World War. It features a stone base with a statue of a standing soldier holding branches aloft. The sculptor was Eugene Benet, and Nicolas Pirotton and A. C. LeGrand were the builders. It is dedicated to the Francophones of western Canada who died in the First World War and Second World War. The monument was dedicated on 11 November 1920 and speaking at the ceremony were Lieutenant Governor James Aikins, Major-General Huntley Douglas Brodie Ketchen, and MLA Joseph Bernier.
Renovated by the veterans of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 15, the monument was re-dedicated on 16 June 2007 at a ceremony attended by Senator Maria Chaput, Andre Ferrand (Senator of the French Abroad), and Jacques Janson (Delegate of the French in Canada).
The Manitoba Historical Society web page also includes a list of names of those on the memorial.
