Even through the time R. B. Bennett served as prime minister (1930 to 1935), the officials overseeing the war memorial project continued to adhere to the design principles set out by Mackenzie King and the other competition directors, demonstrating a bipartisan support for the memorial.[44] As the accuracy of the uniforms and equipment—at March's request, down to details such as buttons and straps[45]—was directed by Canadian officials,[3] the sculptures were first produced in clay, from which moulds were made and the bronze was then cast in the Marchs' foundry. This work was finished in July 1932 and the bronzes were, with the permission of King George V,[46] put on display in Hyde Park, London, within a mock-up of the granite arch and plinth.
