General note
Samuel Benfield Steele and staff seated and standing outside tents at Camp Sewell, ca. 1914. The individual seated two to the right of SBS is possibly General Sir William Dillon Otter. Photograph taken by Frank Gowen of Brandon, Manitoba.
A note written by Harwood Steele on the envelope the photograph was placed reads: "Photograph brought from Canad 1968: Military District No. 10: Col. S.B. Steele and his staff at Winnipeg (H.Q. M.D.10) about 1910 (uniform is "staff in blue"). Col. Steele with either General Otter or General Cotton and officers of a unit at Sewell Camp, M.D. 10
General note
SBS mentions the visit of General Otter in his 1911 diary, hence the date suggested for this particular image.
