Description
English: This painting depicts veterans as objects of public interest and curiosity after their return to Canada. The setting is the intersection of Davisville Avenue and Yonge Street in Toronto, outside the Orthopaedic Military Hospital, which had 180 beds and an artificial limb factory. The graffiti "Wizz-Bang Corner," derived from the name for small caliber enemy shells during the war, may indicate a common gathering spot for veterans to meet, rest, or beg. "Fragments From France," in small lettering above the bench, refers to a publication by famous British cartoonist Bruce Bairnsfather. It also betrays a dark sense of humour, as the veterans pictured here include permanently wounded soldiers, one of them an amputee. Wounded First World War veterans sit outside the Orthopaedic Military Hospital and artificial limb factory in Toronto. Some veterans informally called the intersection of Davisville Avenue and Yonge Street, Whizz-Bang Corner, after a similarly-named spot on the Western Front. The streets of Toronto were not nearly as dangerous, but veterans had new challenges to face as they reintegrated into postwar society

It is also in the public domain in the United States for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1953, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
