- Three black and white photographs used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published August 16, 1974 with captions: "Lord Elgin Visits Elgins- Lord Elgin, honorary colonel of the Elgin Regiment, visited the regiment while it was in training at Camp Meaford this week. He found the men under canvas, while taking part in a one-week exercise." (C8 Sh4 B1 F1 86a)
"Preparing 'Welcome'- Corporal T. G. Rickwood (left) and Private G. G. Vandenabeele of the Elgin Regiment, set up an ambush while acting as the 'enemy' in an exercise at Camp Meaford, this week." (C8 Sh4 B1 F1 86b)
"Co-Operative Effort- There's an old Army adage that says that 'time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted.' Lt. Paul Smith obviously had this in mind, as he discussed a reconnaissance operation with helicopter pilots assisting in an exercise to search out the 'enemy' at Camp Meaford this week." (C8 Sh4 B1 F1 86c)
