In an attempt to redeem myself [and my aging eyes]: I agree that the collar dogs read 'C' over '16' for the BC Scottish. The regiment was raised at Valcartier in the fall of 1914 and served until the end of the war, so the two may be friends or brothers who served, in different units, and survived. The mounted style puttees - thanks again, Bill, might be cavalry - we had a few even in 1919 - or field artillery or some other mounted / working with horses unit.
