I have attached some good info about this photo and the " Loyal Eddies"
I spent a lot of time in Edmonton on R & R from BATUS in Medicine Hat whilst serving as an Artillery safety Officer. Good Times

It was like a different World to me mate, All I had seen was The UK and some of Europe (mainly Germany) up until that point, I loved it especially the West Edmonton Mall there were some good bars in that place.
