Irish Regiment of Canada Band pictures

[buz]

I am looking for photos of the bands in the Irish Regt. of Canada prior to WWll. They had three large bands..a brass reed, a bugle band and of course pipes and drums. This must have been an attractive and well photographed unit buI have not been able to find pics of these bands.

Try the museums in Toronto.

Also, City of Toronto Archives, which has a collection of some photos taken by both
The now defunct Toronto Telegram and The Globe and Mail Photos taken between
1922 and 1953.
