Scrapbook WWI on the 58th Regiment, Westmount RiflesDescription
Scrapbook with newspaper clippings glued onto the pages. The dates of the featured articles range between August 1914 and December 1915. The contents of the articles included in the book focus primarily on news related to the 58th Regiment, Westmount Rifles. The articles featured are in English. Some of the clippings are labelled with "Star," "Montreal Star," "Gazette," and "Mail," which we can assume are references to the newspaper publisher and correspond to The Montreal Star, the Montreal Gazette and the Montreal Daily Mail (1913-1917). There are entries up to page 43, the remainder of the book is empty. The inside of the cover includes a maker label from Charles F. Dawson Stationers.Lexicon
