Lieutenant-Colonel Kenneth Bedson lectures to soldiers in an agricultural class at the Khaki University of Canada. The YMCA and the military chaplain service had run small educational programs since 1914, but the Khaki University, established in early 1917, greatly expanded this effort. The program gained greater military support following the Armistice as soldiers demanded educational classes to prepare them for postwar occupations.
