John Bull Changes the Sign | The Battle of Vimy Ridge | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars

The Halifax Herald ran this comic on 3 August 1918, after some of Canada's greatest achievements in the First World War, including the Battle of Vimy Ridge. It reflects Canada's changing perception of itself relative to Great Britain: the progression from Canada as "The Empire's Greatest..." colony, then dominion, and now NATION.

Hand-drawn newspaper comic, black and white. The back of a stocky man in military dress faces a stone wall with a large sign, paintbrush in hand. He edited it by crossing lines out and adding a new one. — (*The Halifax Herald*.)
