My Granfather, Peter Carter & 3Unknowns
My grandfather, Peter Richard Carter, was in the Lord Strathcona's Horsemen, Canadian Reserve Cavalry Regiment, WW1. The picture is of Peter in uniform, a gentleman in street clothes and 2 Red Cross Nurses. The picture, a studio shot, is in postcard form and was taken at The Fancy Dress Studio, 49, Tottenham Court Road, London, w. This photo belonged to my grandfather.

Does anyone know who the street-dressed gentleman and the two nurse are? Are they in costume?

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
