Sidney Camp, 72nd Regiment Officers, 1913 (Named)

72nd Regiment Officers at Sidney Camp, 1913. The officers are identified with handwritten notations. It appears that this photo is from a magazine or a newspaper as it is mounted on paper. The caption is: "COMMISSIONED OFFICERS OF THE 72ND SEAFORTH HIGHLANDERS PHOTOGRAPHED AT THE RECENT MANOEVRES ON VANCOUVER ISLAND". The officers named are: Rear Rank: Unidentified corporal Piper, Kemp, H.S. Tobin, J. Kirkpatrick, W. Rae, H.M. Fleming (killed in action), Col. J. Macdonell, Lt Col. Leckie, J.E.

The 72nd Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders of Canada trained in Sidney from 26 June to 1 July, 1913. While there, they were inspected by General Sir Ian Hamilton, Captain Cecil Mack Merritt was killed in action while serving with the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish), C.E.F., in 1915. As a matter of interest his son, Lt.-Col. C. C. I. Merrit, was to win the Victoria Cross in the Second World War.
