Description

Canadian Forest Corps unloading timber, France, during World War I. The photographer recorded an official visit by Canadian journalists to see the work of the Canadian Forestry Corps. The Corps consisted of lumbermen recruited to work in forests in England, Scotland and later in France. They felled timber and produced the huge quantities of wood needed for such things as railroad ties and roads.

By the end of the war there were 10,000 foresters working in Britain and 12,000 in France.
