The individual in the photograph is on guard duty at a sentry post at Prince Albert, NWT, 1885. A few possibilities exist for what this photograph represents. It appears to be a Northwest Mounted Police man (note the pith helmet), or less likely, a member of the Prince Albert Volunteers, or the Prince Albert Home Guard taken during the "siege" of Prince Albert.
