The Enderby mentioned must be either of two brothers, Alfred George Enderby ( Alfred George Ranger Enderby ) or Tom Ranger Enderby. Tom was already married by 1913, and the Enderby in these photos is not wearing a ring, although the lady AKA “I” who created the album is wearing a ring; so a good guess would be that the photos are of Alfred George Enderby.Alfred George Enderby 476838 Gunner. 1st Battery Reserve Brigade.

Just in case you are wondering what happened to the Canada Steamship Line…
The former deck-hand who bought the company
When Paul Martin finally claims the prime minister's office some time in the new year, perhaps sooner, Canada will have its first true corporate titan at the head of government.
Thank you for this! My grandfather was TR Enderby and my grandmother was Ethel Marie Adams. I have Alfred's diary that was returned from the front.
