Russell, Winnipeg, Storey & Van Egmond, Regina, and David Webster, Saskatoon. The design by Nobbs & Hyde won the competition. --“The winning design provides for an excellently planned building and together with the other schemes illustrated, show the individual conception of the contestants for a building which with, perhaps, certain modifications will likely be duplicated in the other provinces.” --“War Memorial Museum, Regina, Saskatchewan,” Construction 12 (September 1919) : 269. -- --Correspondence indicated that working drawings and specifications were ready on January 16, 1920.On October 29 a meeting was held to set up a Committee on Inscriptions for the War Memorial Museum, external and internal decorations and inscriptions.
