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.
James H. Henderson's Victoria, B.C. was acquired in 1927 and dedicated to Corporal Hudson C. Campbell. Hudson attended Saskatoon Collegiate Institute from 1915 to 1916. He enlisted in May 1916, was wounded at Rouvroy and died on 10 August 1918.
