Early in his career, Stanley received an Army Efficiency Medal, but in 1992 he was awarded a Canadian Forces Decoration (CD); at 85, he was almost certainly the oldest Canadian soldier so to be honoured.
Historical plaques honouring Stanley have been erected in the Public Library, Stoney Creek, Ontario (includes a bronze bust by Elizabeth Bradford Holbrook),[REF] in front of the Public Library, Sackville, New Brunswick,[REF] at his boyhood home in Calgary, Alberta,[REF] and on the Parade Square, Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario [REF].
