Well, the "whites of their eyes" thing was just a joke (had to say
something about those sunglasses, which would be inappropriate and
inaccurate for whatever era they're from).
Anyway, Jim, I don't know for sure what era they're from, but I'd
think War of 1812 would be much more likely than War of Independance.
The photo was taken near Kingston, Ontario (which has a Canadian Armed
Forces base, BTW), and the War of 1812 would have played a large part
in the history of that area of Canada; much more so that the War of
Independance. Kingston is steeped in military history, and several
War of 1812 battles were fought in the vicinity.
This group was marching in the Christmas parade in the Town of
Gananoque, about 20 miles down the road.
cheers,
frank
