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.
El Enquentro d'Andreas Christian Gottfried Lapine a été acquis 1921 et dédié au soldat Willis George Hunt. Willis a fréquenté le Saskatoon Collegiate Institute de 1910 à 1913. Il s’est enrôlé le 6 mars 1916 et a été tué le 11 juillet 1918 près de Bellacourt.
