My grandfather was also in Camp Vernon that year (and we have photos). Do you have any idea of dates in 1916? My Jack signed up in Vancouver 23 March 1916 - and he left Canada 14 August 1916. There is a photo of the ship leaving Victoria too. It would be interesting to compare dates - and if it seems they were there the same time - to share photos?

He was known as "old soldier Ramsay", as he was in his late 30's then. Anyway, the photo shows him and others marching into Camp to begin training, with a note on the rear of the picture. I'd be glad to share this picture too. Hope someone can find theirs in it. Jim Bundy
