A group of six men traveling by horse and wagon from Grande Prairie to Athabasca. Alex Wishart, the teamster driving the horses, is taking the other five to enlist with the R.N.W.M.P. at the beginning of World War I. From left to right they are Harley Conrad, George Balmer, Jack McKenzie, Delmar Pratt, Alex Wishart, and Chester Carman Miller. The five joined the force on September 9, 1914.
Postcard labeled “Bear Creek Grande Prairie”. The bridge in the photo appears to be the first government bridge on the trail from Grande Prairie to Flying Shot Lake. In the background can be seen a row of telegraph poles which mark the main road into Grande Prairie from the west (now 100th Avenue).
