The scroll of marksmen of British Columbia : the grand aggregate

Item consists of one bound volume measuring 56 x 41 cm. It contains a list of gold and silver badge winners of the Grand Aggregate, an event held each year at the annual general meeting of the BC Rifle Association, starting in 1875. Though there are additional blank lines dating up to 1975, entries stop after 1931. Each entry includes the range (Central Park, Clover Point, Goldstream, Heals, New Westminster, Nanaimo, or Richmond), the shooter's military rank, corps, and city or town. Each page of the volume includes at least two unique, hand-coloured illustrations in the header. Pages are interleafed. Given the consistency of hand-written entries, it is likely that the volume was produced near or after 1931.
