Unknown, except for Bowerman on the lower step. 302 Unknown, except for Bowerman on the bottom step. 
Album page. 303 Album plate--applicable photos edited off and appear elsewhere on site. 
Unknown.  Man on a nice long porch. 304 Photo is titled "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.

Two men in front of a concrete mast foundation. 306 Unknown.  Mast imbedded in concrete above ground could mean a thin layer of soil.  Bowerman on left. 
HMS Kent. 307 HMS Kent.  Vessel got its hair mussed by the Germans off Chile in WW1.  Steamed to the Navy base in Esquimalt, British Columbia, for repairs.   HMS Kent at Esquimalt May 1915.
Group of men on front porch somewhere. 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. 
Man and girl (Hollis?) on porch somewhere. 310 Appears to be operator Hollis' daughter.  Other gentleman is unknown.

312 Barrington Passage Wireless station, Nova Scotia.  Could be a building other than operations.
Group of vessel officers. 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.
Field BC showing old hotel. 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).
Triangle Island operator's house about 1913. 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. 
Rifle company. 316 Station guards during WW1 perhaps? 
House along the beach.  Could be Bull Harbour. 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.
Woman and child in deep snow.  Could be at Field, BC. 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.
Triangle Island. 319 Tourist bureau shot of Triangle Island station.   
Hesquiat, most likely, native group. 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. 
Perhaps a Digby Island grouping. 321 Perhaps operator 'Edmonds' on the left?  Family and friends grouping.  Digby?
SS Quadra in the shallows at Nanaimo Harbour.  Feb. 1917 322 Lighthouse tender 'Quadra' sitting on the bottom in Nanaimo Harbour's shallows.  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? 
Keeper Jim Davis and his family at Triangle Island. 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?) 
End portion of long wire antenna array. 325 Hoisting an antenna at a station.  Lots of wire required for the frequencies then in use.
