Acknowledgements
In addition to the artworks and artefacts from the RCRM collection, many pieces in this exhibition are on loan from various sources whom we wish to acknowledge here: the Beaverbrook Art Collection, Canadian War Museum, Archives and Special Collections at the University of Western Ontario, artist Robert Shipley, and other private collections mentioned on the legends accompanying each piece.
The research for this exhibition was possible with support from London Room at London Public Library, Local History Room at Richview Branch, Toronto Public Library, and the Legion Magazine. The Regimental Headquarters, The RCR, Petawawa Military Museums, and Museum London helped by searching their holdings to ensure that no stone was left unturned. The Art Bank, Stevens E3, CANADIGM, Obre Projects, STQRY, Studio Mondu, Astley Gilbert, Signature Graphics, and Total Fine Arts made an essential contribution to the logistics of this exhibition.
