This rare picture relates to the account written by quartermaster Sgt. Arnold Penman, which is shown on page157 of, "Fighting Men". Penman is shown in the back row a little to the left of Capt. Plunkett who sits in the front row beside the French officer. Penman has a mustache. The dinner was one of those sponsored by the Merton Plunkett Fund, of which Mrs. George Clarke was a very active sponsor in Orillia. Penman refers to shell holes. Actually the area as a result of the Battle of Vimy was very considerably behind the front line, hence the Y.M.C.A. tents and the recreation areas. Quartermaster Sgt. Penman was killed in action December 30, 1917, serving with the 116th Battalion, Ontario County.
