1914/15 photograph of Canadian soldiers
« on: Monday 30 March 15 21:25 BST (UK) »
Hi folks,

Can anyone confirm whether the soldiers photographed in the image attached dating from 1914/15 is of the 8th battery Canadian Field Artillery. I cannot make out the badges... Hopefully someone with keener eyes may be able to advise..

Thanks in advance

As you said, the Badges are not very clear, however I came across this one which looks like it could be the one worn by the soldiers in the photograph.
The Canadian Artillery wore the same badge as the the British Artillery.
