Harvey Edwin Crowell
17th Reserve Battalion
England
Circa 1917-1918
In the photo, Harvey holds the rank of captain and has a vertical wound stripe on his left lower sleeve which would indicate the photo was taken after April 1917 when he was wounded at Vimy Ridge. It is believed the photo was taken in England while Harvey was the adjutant to the 17th Reserve Battalion. He still wears his 85th Battalion cap badge.

Often soldiers transferred to the 17th Reserve Battalion retained their distinctive uniforms and badges from their previous units.
