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.
Laura Adeline Muntz Lyall's Lullaby was acquired in 1926 and dedicated to Private Roy Eugene Shuttleworth. Roy attended Saskatoon Collegiate Institute from 1911 to 1914. He enlisted on 27 April 1917. Roy was awarded the Military Medal for his bravery in the field and was killed on 26 August 1918 at Arras.
