.w. t. issell. .15. .kingston memorial arch and an unknown parade.

.the more photos i go through, the more confused i get. .for instance, in this photo, the derry walls banner. .here is a brief account of my google research, and the ride a simple search can take you on. .derry is the largest walled city in ireland=derry walls. .but it looks like a parade. .maybe the marchers are of the grand orange lodge. .or apprentice boys. .i am just guessing that this is in kingston, but i could be completely wrong as well.


.if only i could read the banner, things might make themselves a little clearer.



The Memorial Arch was erected during 1923 and completed in 1924 by the Ex-Cadet Club of Canada and was paid for by subscriptions from among its membership and from other friends of the College. The cost of the splendid structure was about seventy thousand dollars. The architect was J. M. Lyle, Esq., of Toronto. This noble memorial stands within the College grounds, about thirty yards distant from the Toronto – Montreal highway. It is 46 feet high and 42 feet wide and is constructed of granite and Indiana limestone.
