There are less than 50 surviving members today of more than 600 who left to fight in the First World War in 1916. Those attending wreath-laying ceremonies were from left, front row: F.G. Ellis, Charles Caves, William Rutter, A.B. Freeman, Earl Lemon, Roy Gorvette, H. Watson, and Rev. J.L. Petrie, president of the 91st Battalion Association. In the back are Charles Baldwin, secretary-treasurer of the association, Art Gale, Ernie Mitchell. John Williams, and M. Morris." (31a)
- " The 64th annual reunion for the 91st Battalion Sunday also marked the first time in 50 years that the swagger stick shown in the photo above was on parade. The stick was given to St. Thomas Legion Branch 41 by Col. Warren Andrews, a former colonel with the Elgin Regiment. The stick is said to have been on parade with the 91st during its final parade before the Battalion went overseas under the command of Col. W.L. Green in 1916. Shown above with the stick are Johnnie Dunn, of the Legion, who was the sargeant-at-arms for the parade at the 64th reunion and who carried the stick in the parade; Charles Baldwin, of the 91st, who helped organize the event; Rev. J.L. Petrie, president of the 91st Batallion Association; Jim Baron, vice-president of the association; Max Morris, of the 91st and Reg Wilson, a Legion member." (31b)
