Notes
This man was drafted for military service and enlisted in May of 1918. He was eventually posted to the 14th Bn in Europe on October 3, 1918 and he served until discharged at Montreal in April 1919.
If you look very closely at the collar dogs in this photo you will see that they have been "doctored" by the photo studio. Apparently the intent was to replace his Canadian General Service Maple Leaf collar dogs to show the 14th Bn 'C' over '14' badge. However, the studio has inverted these characters and they appear as an incorrect "14 over C".
