Inspection of the 72nd Battalion by the Inspector-General for Western Canada, Brigadier John Hughes on January 26, 1916. More detail on photo. The photo shows BGen John Hughes and Colonel James Duff Stuart (Commanding Officer of the 6th DCOR before the war and later BGen).
From the 72nd Seaforth History, page 14:
"After the Battalion had thus undergone seven months' severe training, Brig.-Gen. John Hughes conducted a final inspection prior to the departure of the Battalion for overseas on January 16th, 1916. As a last taste of the wintry conditions that had characterised the stay at Hastings Park this review was carried out in a blizzard."
