The photograph was taken by a Mr. Henry of the Royal Scotts Infantry of Montreal in 1863 [actually late 1865/early 1866]. Senator Casgrain is on the left; Charles Eusebe Casgrain was born in 1825 in Quebec City. He became a doctor and moved to Windsor in 1856. He was the surgeon for the local militia during the Fenian raids. He was also on the Windsor town council. He was a Conservative member of the Canadian Senate, and represented Windsor from 1887 to 1907, when he died. During the Fenian Raids (1866-1871), British troups were garrisoned in the original Assumption College building; the Port Hope Volunteers were there from November 1865 - April 1866. The man standing on the steps is Captain (later General) Arthur Williams of the Port Hope Volunteers; middle back: Ensign Johnson of the Port Hope Volunteers; middle front: Lieutenant James McLeod,also of the Port Hope Volunteers (source: Township of Sandwich, p. 74)
