Triumphal arch for the departure of troops to South Africa
This image shows De la Fabrique Street, where a triumphal arch was built to encourage the Canadian troops leaving Québec City in 1899. This contingent of 1,000 volunteers fought under Lieutenant-Colonel William Otter, known for his 1885 command in western Canada of federal troops in the North-West Rebellion against the Métis and First Nations.
