Canadian front during their attack on Cambrai, October 1918

"Scene on Canadian front during their attack on Cambrai". Official Caption: "(W.W.I - 1914 - 1918) Scent [sic Scene] on a Canadian front during their attack on Cambrai, Advance East of Arras. October, 1918. " DND Photo 0.3293. The SHCMA caption is "72nd Battalion going into action at Cambrai.". NOTE: Other photos have indicated this photo is the 72nd Battalion CEF (Canadian Expeditionary Force) Seaforth. The soldiers in the foreground are possibly from the Canadian Engineers because of the shoulder formation patches and grenade collar badge, also note the shovels. In the middle ground are German prisoners and horse artillery. The soldiers in the background may be from the 72nd Battalion or another Highland regiment as it appears that they are wearing kilts.
