Scope and content
Photograph depicts two soldiers belonging to the Royal Canadian Engineers at Willows Camp. This pair were part of the Canada Siberian Expeditionary Force which was mobilized in Victoria in late 1918. The presence of the leather bandolier and riding breeches and boots let us know that these soldiers belonged to a mounted unit. Other interesting details include the rank insignia on the left soldier's sleeves (sergeant), and the winter forage cap on the right soldier.
