31st Battery in Sarcee, Alberta
The pictures are all labelled 1925 however it appears that in the last photo the gun detachment members are all wearing forage caps unlike the first photos which may indicate a different time period.

Possible 5th Siege Battery in Sarcee, Alberta
The following photos are from an exercise in either 1925 or 1926. The images are of a Breech Loading ( BL) 60 Pounder, which had been designed by the British in 1903-05. It was a 5 inch (127 mm) heavy field gun.
Any further information that would determine the date and the battery involved would be greatly appreciated.
