Photograph of Will Offley pointing to his "Support the N.L.F." (National Liberation Front) sign during an anti-Vietnam War march

Item is the ninth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. The sign held by Will Offley, who was a well-known student radical (one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970), appears to have been produced or at least endorsed by the Dalhousie New Democratic Youth, and Stephen Archibald points out this transition from the very personal signs of earlier protests. He also notes the star armband worn by the figure in the foreground, probably a symbol of the NLF.

Photograph of Will Offley and other anti-Vietnam War demonstrators assembling for a protest march in Halifax's Grand Parade

Item is the fifth of eight photographs taken at an anti-war march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. However, this particular image features Will Offley (in the hat), who was a well-known and controversial student radical, and one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970. The photograph, which is unmounted, was probably not used in the exhibit.
