“(Picture taken in New York City around year 1916 or 17)” (note from Frank Schmidt (grandson of Bert Cox): Bert was in the Canadian Army (C.F.E.) in 1917 and in England. From a letter he wrote dated July 10th, 1916; Bert was at gunnery training camp in Petwawa, Ontario and his sister-in-law Helen, Herbert’s wife, pictured, would deliver their baby in September of that year. Since we know that Bert would have been in uniform mid-1916 and Helen would be 7+ months pregnant then, this photo was probably not taken in 1916 but possibly 1915.
