Pontoon bridge over the Jacques Cartier River near Valcartier Camp, September 1914. The photo shows a horse drawn ammunition train getting ready to cross the bridge.
Valcartier Camp is set on the east bank of the Jacques Cartier River near the village of St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, 30 kilometres from Old Quebec. The original Valcartier camp was supposed to accommodate a maximum of 4,000 men. Before it departed fro England, there were over 32,000 men there.
