The Walter Seymour Allward papers contain 1 metre of textual records, plus architectural drawings. The main focus of the papers in both media is the Vimy Ridge Memorial, near Arras, France erected to World War I 'missing' Canadians by the Canadian Battlefields Memorial Commission 1922-36, with Walter Allward as architect and sculptor. This imposing monument was the major work in Allward's career but he created several other monuments in Canada before, and after, World War I e.g. Peterborough, Ottawa, Brantford.
