    3. Hi Bill, No picture I'm afraid but while I was looking in one of our recently released reproductions on CD, "Nova Scotia's part in the Great War" our product #0204, I found the following snippet from the chapter about the 112th Battalion: "In the early days of the Unit each county was allowed to keep a detachment, providing it numbered fifty men or more, who trained in their own locality until finally mobilized in Windsor in May, 1916. There the Battalion encamped on the hill of Fort Edward, where it was subjected to a rigorous training, and the progress made elicited much praised from Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, then Minister of Militia, who inspected the Unit about the beginning of July, 1916." Then I saw John's reply and realized that the response to your question is probably going to depend on the period you are interested in. John's earlier reply says his picture is titled "Middleton," which is a good way from Windsor, so the answer to your question may not be as simple as you'd think. And that's assuming you ARE talking about the mobilization period of the Great War. Malcolm Archive CD Books Canada Inc. President: Malcolm Moody PO Box 11 Manotick Ontario, K4M 1A2 Canada.
