Canadian Officers' Training Corps - Demonstration Platoon

Demonstration platoon of COTC cadets and officers in uniform with helmets and holding rifles; machine guns in foreground.
Taken in front of Saskatoon Armouries portion of the Clinkskill house that was used for an officers' mess and offices (visible at right).

Bio/Historical Note: James Clinkskill owned a large white frame house with a large, two-story veranda overlooking the South Saskatchewan River from 1904 to 1911. The house was located at 152 Spadina Crescent East. In 1911, the Armouries were constructed and a Sergeant’s Mess was built in 1912. The Clinkskill house was used as the Officers’ Mess and as the home of the Armouries caretaker. The United Services Institute, whose members were former members of the Canadian Armed Forces, was located in the former Clinkskill house and hosted many social events. In 1922 a barn was moved into Saskatoon and used as a drill hall. When the Hugh Cairns VC Armouries were built in 1960, the Saskatoon Armouries were sold to Harry Landa for $2000 and removed. The former Clinkskill house was demolished in 1960.
