This photo is of the Memorial Arch and a private residence located at The Royal Military College of Canada (heretofore known as RMC). The Memorial Arch, at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, built in 1923, is a monument which honours the memory of ex-cadets who have died in combat or while attending the College. The Memorial Arch, designed by John M. Lyle, is an example of the Beaux-Arts architecture. The Indiana limestone arch on a base of Quebec granite was built at a cost of $75,000. The Arch was unveiled by Mrs. Joshua Wright, mother of two cadets who gave their lives in the First World War. #558 Major G.B. Wright, DSO, RCE, was killed in action in France on 21 May 1915. #814 Major J.S. Wright, 50th Bn CEF, was killed in action in France on 18 Nov 1916.

It's okay though, my father in law is a head of department there; he can probably clear me of the charges if need be.
