Original Toronto Star caption: Sailors reviewed before memorial--With the huge pylons of Canada's great memorial at Vimy towering in the background, blue-uniformed sailors proudly passed in review as part of the dedication ceremony. While the great mass of Canadian pilgrims looked on, the Dominion's memorial had just been dedicated by the King when the picture was taken.
