Description
Colour photograph of the mural "World War I: Welland's Efforts" by Risto Turunen, c. 1991.
Painted in 1990 by Risto Turunen of Lambeth, ON, at 57 Division Street (formerly Columbus Hall), 16' X 16'.
The image of four men on horseback is based on a photo of the "Welland Canal Force" of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment guarding the Welland Canal. The soldier on the left is based on a photo of a local Welland soldier. The lower left corner is based on the image of a group of women in front of a streetcar promoting the patriotic fund drive. The soldiers looking out the windows are among the troops departing from the Welland Junction train station.
It was removed and relocated to the Welland Museum sometime before 2007.
Picture of mural and information from the book "A Festival of Canadian Art: Welland's Giant Outdoor Murals" by Jerry Gibb.
