Seaforth officers in field with two non-Seaforth officers
Group of Seaforth officers in the field with two non-Seaforth officers. They are most likely officers from the 231st Battalion before their departure to Europe because the photo was taken by Victoria photographers. The other officers are possibly from the 143rd (BC Bantams) Battalion which trained extensively with the 231st in Sidney and Vancouver.
