Military, 162nd Battalion
The scarce 1916 postcard at top left offering greetings from the 162nd Battalion C.E.F. (Canadian Expeditionary Force) at Sundridge bears an interesting message from a soldier named Russ, who sounds bored. Written on 25 July 1916, the message reads: “I have not very much to say this time, only that I am still living. I hear there is to be a big day in town on the third of August and you bet I will be up if I can get there at all. Well, I have been soldiering for six months now and we are still in Canada yet, but it is hard to tell where we will be at the end of another six months.” The C.E.F. was created in 1914, in response to a United Kingdom call for troops after World War I began.

John C. Faulkner worked in Sundridge between 1889 and 1907, and was also documented there between 1914 and 1920. Postmarked in 1905, this real-photo postcard depicts two men with some cattle and a note written in jest which says: “Sundridge Ont. - at busiest period of the day.” Learn more about Faulkner and his daughter, Lilley, on the Northern Ontario Postcard Photographers page. A portional close-up image from the postcard is seen below.
