LITERATURE
Marjorie Lismer Bridges, A Border of Beauty, Arthur Lismer's Pen and Pencil, 1977, page 27
Arthur Lismer stated: "While in Halifax I made War Records of naval activities. I went out to sea with convoys, in minesweepers and submarine chasers, and sketched fortifications and guns. I saw the huge ships come home in 1919 with Canadians who had fought in the Great War of 1914 - 1918."
Lismer's official War Records are housed in the National Gallery of Canada.
