Photo of Richard Massey
Picture may have been taken in or near Vladisvostock, Russia, and it looks like uncle Richard lied to get into the Army. He was born in 1900, not 1899, as the note states. At the time the family was on the move from Deer Park in B.C. to Cereal, Alberta. -

Richard on the left, not sure when or where this was taken, do not know the other man in the photo. -
Photo 3 of Richard Massey
