Chalk carving from World War I showing a Canadian solider wearing helmet and gas mask (on his chest) with a Red Cross armband (medic). Shows his left profile. "LENS 1917 is carved below at bottom right. Initials of artist appear to be "F overlaid on W". On the accession record it states "a VIMY chalk carving / says soldier is a Seaforth". Note: Lens is very close to Vimy. Also, the Battle of Hill 70 was at Lens in August 1917 so maybe this carving is a souvenir of this battle.
