I found this photo at the St. Lawrence Antique Market in Toronto. It shows three members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force at Camp Borden. The names of the three soldiers have been written on the photo and the inscription on the back reads "Camp Borden, July 1916."

I've always been fascinated by the First World War, and this  is probably my favourite photograph in my collection. With a little bit of digging, I discovered that the three soldiers are Private James Edward Weaver, Private Alfred Matthews, and Private Richard Wharton. They all hailed from Waterford, Ontario and the surrounding area and belonged to the 133rd Regiment (Norfolk's Own). 

If anyone has any further information about these three and whether or not they survived the war, it would be greatly appreciated. I've grown rather fond of them! View full size.
