1st CANADIAN HIGHLAND BATTALION, 1951 - 1953

1er Bataillon canadien des Hautes Terres, 1951-1953

1st CHB C Coy firing sten guns at the Blair Range, West Van., 1951

First Canadian Highland Battalion C (Seaforth) Company at the Blair Range in North Vancouver, 1951. The Line is firing Sten Guns. There are 6 shooters and 3 range officers. Between 1922 and 1968 the Blair Rifle Range (named for Lt Col R.M. Blair) was used by the Canadian government to detain unemployed men and for military training purposes. The site serves as a reminder of Canada’s experiences in the Great Depression of the 1930s and its legacy of activism, protest and the birth of national social programs. It also symbolizes the mobilization that occurred during World War II and the military presence in the Seymour (North Vancouver) area. The photo is from the Album - "Deutschland", brown album with Seaforth crest and title.
