Default Which battalion?
I don't think they all wear the same cap badge....

One clue on the back : David Dow.

There were 5 of them in the CEF... Mostly B.C., one from MTL Grenadier Guards... doesn't match the badges.

Any guesses?

Thanks!

Stamp box is CYKO 1904-1920's....

Hi
Badge looks like 153rd battalion. Quick search on CEF attestation papers and webste dedicated to the 153rd battalion a David Dow attests to this battalion.
Hope this helps
Dan

Hi
All the soldiers are wearing the large 153rd maple leaf cap badge. Man 4th from right is probably wearing generic maple leaf cap badge.
All the best
Dan
