Is this Nicola Valley Museum photograph John Foster Paton Nash, standing left, “Miss McPhaile,” “Mrs. Meikle” and James Thompson enjoy a light moment, occasion and date not recorded. Rev. Thompson was a Church of England parish priest in the Nicola Valley and he and Nash both served in a militia regiment headquartered in the valley before the Great War.
My name is Mike Sasges, and I am a director of the Nicola Valley Museum, and have been sending this photograph to various media recently to illustrate a profile of Capt. Nash that I wrote.
