Eby, Wray, & AtkinsonGeorge in uniform, standing between his uncle, Gordon Eby, and another soldier. The other soldier was originally called "Charles Atkins" but Gordon had a habit of mixing up and misspelling names... based on my own research, I believe him to be Charles Atkinson, another local man who served in the 118th Battalion (as did Gordon and George).Contributed by:
