A lavish illustration by J.E.H. Macdonald advertising an exhibition of pictures by Canadian artists in aid of the Patriotic Fund. Canada is represented by a woman adorned with patriotic symbols. She stands between a group of soldiers marching to war and a farmer who holds a plough. In the background at the upper right are ships which carry troops and supplies to Britain's aid

WW1/Remembrance Day

(Note: this time of year, every single publication puts out local news stories about veterans, particularly those from WW1 and WW2. This is also the centenary of the end of WW1, with plenty of pieces covering this as well. Therefore, there is no humanely possible way for me to include all of them in the roundup, particularly when we are talking about the smaller newspapers and magazines. So, instead, I have tried to focus on national stories, unusual or unique stories, and anything relating to historical research.)
