In March of 1919, students at Nutana Collegiate (called Saskatoon Collegiate Institute until 1923) announced they would establish a memorial for the 29 alumni soldiers who died in the First World War. Principal Alfred J. Pyke instead suggested creating a Memorial Art Gallery that consisted exclusively of paintings by Canadian artists. They purchased one painting by a different artist for each fallen soldier.
The Signal d'Augutus Frederick Lafosse Kenderdine a été acquis 1923 et dédié au soldat George Roderick Chisolm. George a fréquenté le Saskatoon Collegiate Institute de 1911 à 1913. Il s’est enrôlé le 17 avril 1916 et a été tué à la crête de Vimy le 9 avril 1917.
