Members of the Laurie family.
The family tree of John Wimburn Laurie, patriarch of the family. He is the seated gentleman in the pic
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Laurie-914
George Brenton Laurie is in the right of the pic, standing. He is said to have been killed in the Battle of Neuve Chappelle.
I believe Colonel Kendrick Laurie is standing to the left. He obviously survived WWI, but he also was a veteran of the Second Boer War.
Kendrick's older brother Haliburton is in the middle, standing. He was killed in the Second Boer War not long after this pic was taken.
The family tree of Kendrick C. Laurie.
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Laurie-927
On his death in 1967, The Colonel bequeathed lands to the Province of Nova Scotia on the condition the lands were developed into Provincial parks for the enjoyment of citizens. His widow, Violet, ensured his wishes were honoured. A commemorative cairn is still visible in Oakfield Park which heralded its completion in 1970.
His legacy,
Our heritage.
Ps sorry about the pics, for some reason the code for some of them do not show under edit. And the date of the family pic is 1901.

The AR suffered from all sorts of issues shortly after being issued. Stuck cases, due to several different issues was one of them
I wonder how many of those fellows ended up with crippled knees by the time they were 50, if they lived that long????
