This album contains 114 collodio-chloride prints, mostly amateur work of good quality, approximately 110 x 65 mm in size. In addition to photographs of India, there are eight of Canada (72-79) and seven of England (80-85, 114) dated 1907 and 1909. Invitations for Douglas to become an honorary member of a number of regimental messes have also been inserted.

This is a series of photographs documenting the fighting on the Western Front and the appalling conditions endured by soldiers during trench warfare. The majority record the contribution of the Canadian Army, while later images illustrate commemoration celebrations in Belgium in 1922. Most are uncaptioned, making dates, places, units and individuals difficult to identify. Brief descriptive captions have been supplied in parenthesis.
