Scope & content
Item consists of page 38 of the Boyd photograph album. There are nine photographs on the page, which are captioned as follows: 12525, 12527, 12528 - The big trek of troops from Niagara to Toronto. About 12000 men made the march. One battalion left Niagara Camp every morning; 12525 - St. Catharines Armouries sheltered the men the first night of the great hike; 12527 - Cyclist scouts passing through Homer, in advance of the main column; 12528 - 37th Battalion coming out of Hamilton with a stride that will carry them to Bronte; 12529 - Climbing the big hill at Junction Cut was a severe test on the staying qualities; 12531, 12532 - The Red Cross Ambulance was always in demand to rest and bandage blistered feet, while the portable kitchens were ever ready to dispense hot coffee and sandwiches; 12533 - The schoolhouse pump at Waterdown never worked harder than when the 37th passed thro'; 12535, 12536 - There was a big crop of apples in 1915, and the fruit men shared them generously with every soldier on the march. Their wives made and gave away thousands of pies.
