IMAGE INFORMATION
Thomas Hammond was Lena Paul Pictou's maternal uncle. He was killed in World War I, while serving with the Canadian Forces. He was photographed in his uniform, which has Regimental collar and cap badges of the 64th CEF (Canadian Expeditionary Force), Infantry. He has a "Canada" shoulder tab on the base of his epaulets and is holding a pacing stick with white metal tips. [Thanks to Bruce Ellis, Army Museum, Halifax, and Ryerson Christie for this identification.] 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.
