Wow this is a really interesting photo of men of the African Canadian soldiers of N02 Construction Battalion
Below is a recruiting poster and some explanatory text
Recruiting proved difficult before the unit departed for overseas; many of the African Canadians who had tried to enlist at the start of the war and been turned away refused to join No. 2 CB when it was finally stood up. (esther clark wright archives, acadia university, 1900.237)
