Great photo! Is it known what unit/battalion they are?
Hello Dawn. Thank you for your comment. The back of the photo, which is available at Library and Archives Canada, states that it is the “87th Battalion receiving mid-day ration within shelled area.” The LAC photo reference number is PA001570. This number can be used to order the photo. Best, Dan Black, Editor. Legion Magazine.
