--removed-- 301     Duplicate with 061
302      Unknown, except for Bowerman on the bottom step. 
303      Album plate--applicable photos edited off and appear elsewhere on site. 
304      Photo is entitled "Dick". 

    Thought was that it was Barrington Passage, NS.  Word from that area is that there is no church steeple (over left shoulder) in that vicinity.  
305      Album plate--applicable photos edited off and appear elsewhere on site. 
306      Unknown.  Mast imbedded in concrete above ground could mean a thin layer of soil.  Bowerman on left. 
307      H.M.S. Kent.  Vessel got its hair mussed by the Germans off Chile in WW1.  Steamed to the Navy base in Esquimalt, British Columbia, for repairs.   H.M.S. Kent at Esquimalt May 1915.
308      Group sitting on the front steps of the Barrington Passage, NS operations building.  Bowerman with pipe in front.  The same group except for Bowerman is in photo 344. 
--removed-- 309      Duplicate with 162. 
310      Appears to be operator Hollis' daughter.  Other gentleman is unknown.
311      Album plate--applicable photos edited off and appear elsewhere on site. 
312      Barrington Passage Wireless station, Nova Scotia.  Could be a building other than operations.
313      Photo taken on a vessel.  Crew has foreign appearing (to me) uniforms.  Might have been taken in 1918 when Bowerman was back with the Royal Navy on a troop transport vessel.
314      Field, BC.  The hotel is long gone.  Bowerman must have taken this photo at the train station while stretching his legs during one of his trips back and forth across Canada.  Train would have been the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR).
315      Triangle Island operators digs.  Compare with photo 053 and note windows are different.  Storm windows fitted?  Smaller panes easier to replace when blown out by the wind. 
316     Station guards during WW1 perhaps? 
317      Two dwellings, one off to the right.  This close to the beach could mean Bull Harbour?  Compare with Aitkens 022 view of Bull Barbour from a tower.  Building in the rear with mast behind gives some credence.  Can't work the foreground building into the equation although the difference in years may account for this.
318      Nice snow fall somewhere.  I can't see our stations being fitted with the decorative slats.  Photo may have been taken in the Rocky or Selkirk Mountains during one of Jack's train trips.  People in photo are unknown, Jack had no family at this time.
319     "Tourist bureau" shot of the Triangle Island station.   
320      Reverse in WJB's handwriting says:  "Hesquiat near Estevan Pt.  Approx 1920.  Typical Indian group and dwelling.  The man standing on right is not an Indian (myself)" .  Hesquiat was the native village and bay to the east of Estevan Point. 
321      Perhaps operator 'Edmunds' on the left?  Family and friends grouping.  Digby?
322      Lighthouse tender 'Quadra' sitting in the shallows of Nanaimo Harbour.  She was in collision with SS Charmer in February 1917.  Gallows Point light off to the left showing as a white column.  (Readers of the 'Western Mariner' recognized the incident.)
323      Beach scene.  Looks like Bowerman on the right.  The area has a west coast look about it.  Could it be Estevan? 
324      Triangle Island keeper James Davis and his wife and three daughters.  Look at a big copy of 117 and see that the fellow on the left (hat & moustache) appears in both.  (Summer of 1912?) 
325      Hoisting an antenna at a station.  Lots of wire required for the frequencies then in use.
