Who Does This Look Like Honey

Flags of Freedom

A Canadian soldier at the studio of Jos. Grenier of Montreal. Some of the flags in this group date this photo after October 1917. The United States entering the war on April 6, 1917. Cuba declared war the next day and Guatemala about two weeks later. Brazil, whose flag is barely visible in the upper left corner, declared war on Germany on October 26, 1917. The latest of all the countries represented here to join the Allies.

Sherwood Foresters

20 of the 33 battalions raised by the Sherwood Foresters served overseas so there is a 60% chance that this soldier saw action. This photo was taken by R. Liddle Elliott of New Washington.

Shorncliffe Camp

This photo was taken by G. Marsh of Folkestone. The Canadians trained at Shorncliffe Camp there.

3rd Australian Auxiliary Hospital

The 3rd Australian Auxiliary Hospital was located at Dartford. I have no clue if this soldier was on staff or a patient there.

With and Without His Service Cap

Here are two images of the same soldier taken with and without his Dienstmütze, or service cap. He amazingly held the exact same pose in both photos despite removing his cap and moving location. Even the wrinkles in his Bluse have not seemed to move.

8th Field Ambulance

Three members of the Canadian 8th Field Ambulance. Most likely taken between the end of the war and their return to Canada in April of 1919. I am stumped as to why the word L'Huile (the oil) is written on the back.
