Item title reads: “Pioneers for Canada. General Sir Ian Hamilton bids farewell to first party of ex-sevicemen, trained as farmers by British Legion.“ Brandon, Suffolk M/S general, and officials in hats, greet ex service men. They watch men hammer stakes in the ground using sledge hammers. Sir Ian stands on steps to speak to the small assembled group and bids them farewell, and shakes hands, entusiastically.
