As far as I can tell, including Lt. Col. Letson wearing the cap badge of the University of British Columbia COTC, the following Regiments, Corps and Service are represented:
Governor General's Foot Guards;
The Royal Canadian Regiment;
Canadian Machine Gun Corps;
Queen's Own Rifles of Canada;
Royal Canadian Artillery;
Three Rivers Regiment;
The Grenville Regiment (Lisgar Rifles), from Kemptville, Ontario. No, I've never heard of it, either;
Royal Winnipeg Rifles;
48th Highlanders of Canada;
Royal Hamilton Light Infantry;
Royal Canadian Air Force;
Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, or not, there were many regiments with the cross of St. Andrew as a cap badge;
Gentleman Cadet of the Royal Military College; and
One officer whose cap badge I cannot identify. It's similar to the Canadian Provost Corps, but isn't. It's the officer, last on the left, in the front row.
Finally, one would think it easy to determine the names of the members of the Canadian 1934 Bisley Team. Ha! Not even the Bisley or DCRA websites have it. It's possibly on archived Winnipeg and Ottawa newspapers, but they want my credit card info for a "free" trial. Where are all the forum members with their strong google-fu?
Cheers,
Dan.
