IMAGE INFORMATION


This photo has been tentatively identified as "Madeline Martin and her husband," and also as "Jim Cope and his mother." The man is wearing military uniform, with a Sam Browne belted tunic; he has General Services cap and collar badges, and "Canada" on his shoulder tab. [Thanks to Bruce Ellis, Army Museum, Halifax; and to Ryerson Christie, for this military information.] One of 116 images collected for copying by Darlene Ricker between 1990 and 1997, as part of a project of the Bear River Mi'kmaq Reserve, Bear River, NS. Initiated by Chief Frank Meuse, the project, set up to preserve the reserve's history, resulted in a book by Darlene Ricker, 1997. The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, contributed the copywork for all photographs lent to the project, on the understanding that they would keep the copy negatives, but return the originals and provide the lenders with 8x10 prints of each item loaned for copying.
