Here is a photograph of several members of the Snow family: Thomas Snow, Robert Snow, Bernice Snow, Ted Snow, Archie Bain and an unidentified person. Notice how young some of the men in uniform look.

This is one of the many families in Verdun that had several of its members on active service. Some families had up to five members in the Armes Forces, like the Hill family from Woodland Avenue and the Tremblay family of 1st Avenue.
