Collection consists of 780 black and white panoramic shots of various regiments of the Canadian Army Overseas. Most of the photographs were taken in England or Scotland and away from the fighting. Therefore, these photographs are more portrait style shots, as opposed to live-action battlefield photos. Unfortunately, while some of the people in the photographs are numbered, DHH has no corresponding key exists to identify the personnel. There are various sizes among the panoramic shots in boxes 1 and 2, which are standard archival 20cm boxes, while boxes 4 through 7 contain oversize photographs. Files have been intellectually organized according to the organizational structure of the Canadian Army circa 1945 provided in Appendix F of Col. C.P. Stacey"s Official History of the Canadian Army: The Victory Campaign. However, the files remain in their original order within the boxes. There are eight series:
I: Canadian Armoured Corps
II: Royal Canadian Artillery
III: Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers
IV: Royal Canadian Corps of Signals
V: Canadian Infantry Corps
VI: Canadian Forestry Corps
VII: Canadian Military Headquarters (London, England)
VIII: Other Units
