Notes on the perimeter of the photograph: "Group of 102nd Battalion "North British Columbians", and Lt. Griffiths with battalion mascot, as small black bear, at Goose Spit, Comox, spring of 1916. When battalion left Comox for overseas, June 9th 1916, bear was taken by boat to Vancouver. There, as the train "pulled out", a bystander was asked to hold his chain while his Keeper said goodbye to his (supposed) mother. The bystander is, so far as is known, still holding the chain with the bear on the other end. Some say the bear was taken care of in Stanley Park"
