Possible Canadian WW1 uniforms
« on: Sunday 30 September 18 15:29 BST (UK) »
I have recently scanned this photo of two WW1 soldiers and an older lady.  I would be interested if anyone could identify the uniforms.  I suspect that they are Canadian, my grandfather and his brother both served with the Canadian army (I have downloaded their papers, 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles and RCAMC).
The photo was with some that were my grandmothers, I know that they are not her brothers (they served with the RNAS).  Hope someone can help, thanks
