Major Stuart Forbes offered to paint the insignia as a gift to the College.
General Macdonnell said that "no greater incentive or inspiration could be given to the Gentlemen Cadets of the Royal Military College of Canada than the sight of the emblems worn by the Canadian Corps."

His Excellency John Ralston Saul (February 2004) described the Currie Hall decorations,
This is an astonishing hall in which to speak.
If you gaze up at the initials on the ceiling and at the paintings and the painted insignia around the walls, you are reminded that Canada is not a new country. [...]
Militarily speaking, we have been at it for a long time.
This hall is a conceptualisation of our participation in the First World War.
 All of that grandeur and tragedy is pulled together here in a remarkable way.
 I'm not sure that we could reproduce a hall of this sort to describe our military experiences of the last half century."

The initials of Canada Corps commanders General Sir Arthur Currie; Sir Edwin Alderson (1915–16), and Sir Julian Byng, 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy (1916–17) are emblazoned on the ceiling of Currie Hall as are the initials of Sir Henry Edward Burstall, Garnet Hughes, General Macdonell, Louis Lipsett, Frederick Oscar Warren Loomis, M. S. Mercer, Sam Steele, R. E. W. Turner, and David Watson.

The badges and battle patches belonging to the units of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Canadian Divisions of the Canada Corps and the cavalry brigade adorn 132 oak panels on the face of the gallery.
