Original Toronto Star caption: On patrol duty along the Newfoundland coast with a Bren gun carrier; Canadian troops call at a fisherman's home. It's a friendly invasion this; and the people of the island directly at the mouth of the St. Lawrence always welcome the Canadian troops. They keep fighting fit by daily manoeuvres.
