| Description | Although a row of soldiers is just visible in the back left corner, this image is dominated by the mounted officers milling around a marker flag. They are chatting casually and look quite relaxed. Their horses on the other hand seem to be relatively frisky and jumpy. Unusually for the photographs in this collection, the caption on the back is not typed. It has been handwritten in pencil instead. This does not, however, reveal much about the history of this photograph or how it was intended to be used. [Original reads: 'Inspection of Canadians. Winston Churchill in plain clothes.'] |
