Legacy
The art of Walter Allward lives on in numerous substantial monument and designs in Canada and abroad. Many of his personal tools were bequeathed to his protégé Emanuel Hahn, who in turn gifted some to his protégé Elizabeth Bradford Holbrook. Today some of those tools are being used by Canadian sculptor Christian Cardell Corbet as gifted to him by his mentor Bradford Holbrook. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. He is a character in Jane Urquhart's book The Stone Carvers. In November 2011 the Chief Justice of Canada, Beverley McLachlin unveiled a portrait bust by Christian Cardell Corbet of Walter Allward titled "Walter of Vimy" at the Supreme Court of Canada now a part of the Courts permanent collection.
