From page 81 of the February 1917 Sheaf. Eight scenes from the French Front in 1917. Soldiers are: Charles Neil Cameron, W.A. Paterson, William John Sparling (Jack) Hooper, John Cameron.

Bio/Historical Note: John Cameron was born in 1889 at Greenock, Scotland, and was educated at local schools. His family arrived in Saskatchewan in 1903 and homesteaded near Saskatoon. Cameron enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan by 1912. With war breaking out, he joined the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, University Unit, in 1915. He went overseas (France) in May 1915. Sergeant Cameron was wounded in April 1916. He rejoined his unit in June 1916, and was again wounded five months later. Cameron was Invalided to Canada and discharged in April 1917. He returned to the U of S and graduated with a BSA in 1918. Cameron was manager of the Saskatchewan Farmers' Mutual Fire Association in Saskatoon for many years.

Bio/Historical Note: The Memorial Gates are a military memorial that is part of the University campus. Sixty-seven University students and faculty lost their lives while on service during World War I. The impact of the war on the University was immense: 330 students and faculty served during the War, a number equivalent to nearly all of the students who had registered the year prior to the beginning of the conflict. The desire to honor the staff and students who had fallen during the Great War was strong within the University community. As early as August 1918, 3 months prior to the formal Armistice, University President Walter C. Murray began making enquiries into the cost of a suitable memorial. What was settled upon were gates made of solid bronze, imported from England; the remainder, made of local greystone. Architect David R. Brown estimated the cost of what would come to be known as the Memorial Gates to be $30,000, with an additional $10,000 required for the memorial. The cement work was done by Richard J. Arrand in 1927-1928. A concerted fundraising effort among students and alumni helped cover the costs. The Memorial Gates were unveiled by President Murray and dedicated by the Bishop of Saskatchewan on 3 May 1928. A stone tablet, positioned between the bronze gates, bears the inscription: "These are they who went forth from this University to the Great War and gave their lives that we might live in freedom." For many years after, the site was used for the university’s Remembrance Day services at which wreaths are still laid every November 11th. These Gates were originally the entrance gates to campus and flanked University Drive. In the 1980s, due to increased traffic to the southwest portion of the campus, primarily Royal University Hospital, a new road entrance was built to the west. The gates remain, with the remnant of University Drive passing through them renamed Memorial Crescent. The gates are now primarily used by pedestrians, though the roadway is open to vehicles.
