English: Before its destruction during the First World War, the Cloth Hall in the Belgian City of Ypres was one of the last surviving medieval architectural marvels of Northern Europe. Originally built by wealthy Flemish cloth guilds, the Hall was a splendid example of Gothis civic architecture. The Cloth Hall, Ypres shows the destruction brought about by repeated shelling by air and artillery fire. Only the central tower of the guild hall remains recognizable amid the rubble, while on the right, the Cathedral is in ruins. The central tower and one wing of the hall, were eventually rebuilt, and the debris of the other wing was cleared, save for some of the original pillars, which remained as a War Memorial.

English: In 1917, Major James Kerr-Lawson was commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund to journey to the battlefields of France and Belgium to paint the ruined cities of Arras and Ypres, which had suffered greatly in the shelling. James Kerr-Lawson (1862-1939) was an established painter at the time of his commission in 1917. Born in Anstruther, Fife, Scotland, the artist emigrated to Hamilton, Ontario with his family at the age of three. Although he lived most of his life in London, England, he maintained many links with the Canadian artistic community. He was best known as a portraitist and mural decorator
