Armed Forces - 21st Field Battery - Group Photo

Troops of the 21st Field Battery, Canadian Artillery, Sarcee Camp, sitting and standing in three rows with artillery cannons on either side. Wagons, tents and buildings in background.

Bio/Historical Note: In the summer of 1914, the Canadian militia leased a part of the Sarcee (now Tsuu T'ina Nation) Indian Reserve as a prospective training site for military personnel. Sarcee Camp, as the site came to be known, was the only area in Alberta set aside to train soldiers for battle during World War I. More than 45,000 men from 30 units across the province trained at the camp over the course of the war. It was one of the largest military training areas in Canada at the time. Sarcee Camp was abandoned in 1998.
