Frank Milligan breaking down the cement and stones in the Fort Langley Historic Site cairn; Milligan is standing on the left had side of the photo, facing the camera but bent over chiseling the side of the monument, which is partially in ruins around it; the visitor building at the Fort Langley National Historic Site can be seen in the background. Photo was featured on p. 1 of the Langley Advance newspaper on Thursday, March 4, 1965, with the following caption: "DOWN to a pile of rubble on Tuesday this week was the prominent, historic, often photographed cairn that has stood on the site of the Hudson Bay fort at Fort Langley for the past 40 years. Ottawa headquarters of the National Historic Parks Board ordered it removed on the basis that it was a monument to mark the site of the old fort and now the reconstructed buildings mark the spot and constitute a monument in themselves. The cairn was built in 1925 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada following the 1924 celebrations to mark the centennial of James McMillan's first visit to the area. It was dedicated in 1927 at the centennial of the establishment of the fort. Rocks on its surface were all local stones, ceremoniously contributed by people interested in the history of the area. Interior of the cairn was solid concrete which gave Frank Milligan a tough time to shatter. The plaque has been removed and is being sent back to Ottawa for rewording. It will then be retuerned to Fort Langley for display in the officers' quarters of the national historic park."
