A photograph of the government's surveyors corps of scouts during the 1885 uprising, probably taken at Qu'Appelle prior to Middleton's march north. The men appear to be armed with lever action repeating rifles and pistols.
A photograph of grenadiers of the Northwest Field Force (Canadian Army) at Fish Creek, NWT, 1885.
