Remembered Today:

Photos of Canadian Soldiers

The 0.997 reference number on the lower photograph suggests that the image is held at the Canadian War Museum.

 

Searching its website

 

may lead to more information.

 

EDIT: Indeed the image appears on quite a few websites, a few of which state that it shows  "Canadian soldiers returning from the Battle of the Somme in France, November 1916."

 

FURTHER EDIT: The top photo also appears on various websites, with most captions, though not all, suggesting the troops are Canadians - a few say they are British.

 

You could search through the various websites by saving copies of both photos, then click on "Images" at top right of the Google search page,  click on the camera-thingy icon, then "Upload an image" and find the saved pics in your files.
