A group portrait of the Number 1 Company of the 1st Depot Battalion sitting and standing in front of a large building with a patio on the left and windows on the right. The portrait consists of ten rows of men arranged in a pyramidal shape wearing military uniforms. A sign hung above the front doors of the building reads, "This building is not to be used for military purposes by order C.R.C.E. M.D.II." An inscription at the bottom right corner reads, "No. 1 Coy. 1st Depot Battalion, / Vancouver B.C, 23-11-18. / Photo by S. Thomson." Laurence A. Vaughan is in the photograph as he was in the Kootenay Battalion of the Canadian Expedition Forces.
