Caroline Armington produced two etchings for the Canadian War Memorial Fund, CA-207 & CA-208.
The prints were created as part of a fund-raising effort on behalf of the CWMF and were for sale to visitors viewing the exhibition or could be purchased directly from the CWRO. A souvenir catalogue was produced featuring the work that was for sale.
