This photo is of conscientious objectors Helmut Neufeld carrying a pack of lunch boxes and holding an axe, getting directions from foreman Peter Wolfe as they stand in an area where seedlings are to be planted after the 1938 Sayward forest Fire on Vancouver Island. This was part of the alternative service program during the Second World War.
