Scene on Decoration Day, Winnipeg, 1905

Scene on Decoration Day, Winnipeg, 1905
Barrowclough postcard on the usual Velox back. Inscription appears to say "1906" but I think it's really "1905" as otherwise this would be the only Barrowclough Winnipeg card from after 1905. That's unlikely as he didn't use the Velox back after about September 1905, to the best of my knowledge. A nice image. Not sure whether it's Portage or Main -- only one shop is identifiable -- Devlin's Fine Shoes (now confirmed to be at 406 Main Street, likely the McIntyre Block or one of the buildings next to it).

It was the war memorial day before there was a Remembrance Day. It commemorated the Battle of Ridgeway which was a then famous (now almost completely forgotten) battle that took place near Niagara Falls in the 1860s.
