Jo,
Let me echo the appreciation you've received from others for this labour of love you're performing. Keep it up.
I can confirm that the officer sitting on left front is actually a member of the Corps of Guides assigned to Military District 11. Lt. Tweedale had seniority in rank from August 16, 1912.
The Corps of Guides were not organized into units per se, but were found throughout every Military District. I would surmise that Lt. Tweedale was a member of the 72nd Regiment officers mess, and performed his duties for Vancouver based units.
Cheers,
Dan.
