EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and camaraderie among the Canadian Volunteers, also known as The Moose Jaw Legion of Frontiersmen, as they make their first appearance in front of a band stand in 1914. Raised and equipped by Montreal millionaire, Mr. Hamilton Gault, these brave men joined the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry as part of Canada's response to the outbreak of World War I. The Moose Jaw Legion of Frontiersmen was an unusual regiment, consisting mainly of settlers from the British Isles and the United States who had settled in the Saskatchewan region. Their unique arrangement saw them bring their own horses and equipment, adding to the regiment's strength and readiness. The soldiers in this portrait are proudly displayed in their uniforms, each man posed with an air of confidence and preparedness. The uniforms, adorned with insignia and badges, reflect the regiment's pride and commitment to their duty as guards and soldiers in the Canadian Army. The band stand, a symbol of community and celebration, serves as a backdrop to this historical moment. The scene is a poignant reminder of the patriotism and unity that drove ordinary men to join the ranks and fight for their country during the First World War. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Canadian history, as these volunteers, led by Mr. Gault, answered the call to defend their homeland and contribute to the global effort against the Central Powers.
