The above photograph has been languishing in the PP files for some time and we wonder if any of our many readers in Canada can identify the band or the personnel.
It is an historic photograph, 100 plus years old, and is dated on the back July 10th, 1914. The place is given as simply ‘eastern Ontario’.
Interesting to check out the attire of the bystanders. Dress seems to have been pretty uniform on both sides of the Atlantic at that time. One also can ponder how many of those photographed went off to war a few months later to fight for King and country….and how many returned. We’d be grateful for any information or intelligent guesswork. Please email pipingpress@gmail.com. Anyone interested in a copy of the picture can have one free of charge.
