Notes on the Collection:

The photo contained in section 1 was given to me by Merv Stagg in the 1990's. I had met Merv at a Cape Breton Highlanders reunion in Sydney where I had been invited to set up several tables of photos and military memorabilia. After the reunion, Merv made a special trip from North Sydney to Sydney to give me his photo so I could add the original to my collection.
