A list of the early Guide Companies in SVI, 1915:
1st Victoria Camosun Co.
2nd Victoria Lady Douglas Co.
3rd Victoria joined the Lady Douglas Co.
4th Victoria Gonzales Co.
5th Victoria Florence Nightingale Co.
Sharp eyes will notice that the first three of these eventually gave their names to Divisions within SVI Area.

Church Parade at St John's Church, 19 October 1915.
Cataloguing queries: Which St John's Church is this? St John the Divine's west front is not like this now - is this the original 'Iron Church'? Hard to tell but that looks like a stone front - compare with this photo at the RBCM archives.
