tovanger2, earlier this evening I happened across two interesting (and no doubt rare) postcards showing Jack Doyle's Training Camp in Vernon.

I believe that's Doyle chomping on a cigar in the oval inset, while a group of boxers pose in front of a cottage at the Vernon training camp.





Lo and behold, I also found this postcard that shows the interior of the cottage. (postmarked 1915)
