Taken in 1915, it showcases the departure of Canadian troops from Victoria, British Columbia, as they eagerly respond to their motherland's call for support against Germany. The image exudes an overwhelming sense of patriotism and enthusiasm. The scene is crowded with men and women who have gathered to bid farewell to their loved ones embarking on this noble mission. Bunting adorns the surroundings, symbolizing national pride and unity. Amidst the sea of faces, one can spot determined soldiers ready to face unknown challenges on foreign soil. Their resolute expressions reflect their commitment to defend not only Canada but also uphold the values cherished by the entire British Empire.
