Default ....No.2 Construction Company...in a trench...

Canadian official photograph N° O.3319., from the Western Front ~ WW1 1914-18. "Three coloured 'guys' get themselves snapped in a German dug-out on the Canal du Nord."

Great image. Note the private on the right wears the No 2 Construction Bn cap badge.
One gets the impression that the image was a staged photo.

I am certain that they are men of the British West Indies Regiment.

Hi Hoot, what makes you think they are Brit West Indies Regt? (Looking at images of the No 2 Construction and the BWIR, the badge in wear may be either.)

After a careful examination, I think your id is correct Hoot.
