Ante Room
This room was considered to be part of the officers' mess, and was an area
where the officers could go when off duty to relax with such activities as
chess, dominoes or playing the piano. In addition, guests of the officers
were entertained in this room, including their wives and fiancees.
The photograph on the left wall is a composite photograph of the officers
and senior non commissioned officers of the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment.
It was composed by taking individual photographs of each individual and pasting
them to a painted background. As well as a higher marriage rate, this regiment
was allowed a higher rate of pay than was usual.
