Note: Image 62 - Band - I believe I donated large 'photo with all names of Band Members to Weyburn some years ago. Only a few I am able to identify at present.

Image 113 - Outside SSR Headquarters in Weyburn. Another 'photo which all were identified by Les England and Murray Osten who wrote the names on bottom of 'photo and also on back of 'photo. This 'photo was also given to Bill Eskdale by me about 1983 - I believe.

Trust this will aid and possibly help others to remember more of the men that I can name. I personally met a great number of the ones I managed to identify, though I never met CSM Campbell, Major McRae. I met RSM Strumm and one of his daughters, Mrs. Hazel Atkinson of Nanaimo. I met Sherwood Lett after the war in Sidney where he was visiting neighbors of mine.
