Walter Henry Powell at Portreeve Station

The date of this image is not known. Walter Henry Powell is standing at Portreeve Train Station, the nearest station to his family farm. He probably was on a month leave. The journey to Portreeve from across Canada would make a trip home during a one week leave unlikely. The image is from the collection of Walter Henry Powell. The unknown photographer has captured a striking image of his shadow against the wooden siding of the station.
