Hi Louise, If you could send me a copy of the photo, I live in Halifax and I have a good friend who is a local historian, he may be able to help.

I did not want to put any thoughts on here and put ideas I am unsure about on the list. Thank you for that info re RAOB in Halifax as I did not know of them before. I have now contacted them and am awaiting a reply. Any other ideas from the list, and anyone wishing to see the photo to help my identify the cross are welcomed.
