chris.wight Posted 7 October , 2004 Share Posted 7 October , 2004 I picked this photo up at Ebay and thought I would post it. I have no idea where this is in Montreal but it seems there was an excellent turn-out that day with that band playing at the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.wight Posted 7 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 7 October , 2004 Here's a close-up of one of the Officer's carrying the colours. It seems he and the other Officer wore their puttees in a different fashion to the soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond7 Posted 7 October , 2004 Share Posted 7 October , 2004 Chris - great pics, great blow ups. Wish I could help more. But thanks for posting them, always great to see 'new' WW1 pictures emerging on the forum. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.wight Posted 8 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 8 October , 2004 Glad you enjoyed them, Des. I was amazed at the amount of detail I could get by taking a high resolution scan. Sad to say these old colours survived until the late 60s when someone stole them from the Regimental Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
