 many thanks if anyone can help me

Thanks for that

Not sure what that’s about on the back of a football team photo I presumed it was mount Allen so maybe this isn’t Canada after all

Can’t think why Mountbatten is written on back

Why not post the other side of the photo? Perhaps someone can get some clues from that.

First thought is Philip Mountbatten is of course Prince Philips name

Have you got a timeline for the photo?

I believe this could be 1920s James left Peterhead Scotland in 1928 for Canada returned 32/33

He was a keen footballer and I thought this may have been something connected to his footballing in Canada but could well be a home photo ,

These sort of things make ancestry so interesting trying to work out what’s going on

Thanks for everyone’s help
