A small British Dominion

Context:
The Canadians even planned a massive memorial building – modelled on the Pantheon in Rome – to house forty-four immense canvases depicting their First World War experiences.

It was an act of extraordinary chutzpah, although the impoverished wake of the conflict made the building unrealizable (Art and War by Laura Brandon).
