At first I thought they might have both been in the 21st (Eastern Ontario) Battalion, CEF, out of Kingston, Ontario, but they're lacking the collar dogs of the 21st. I come to this conlusion because of the uniforms, and that the OP said that his family came from Woodlands, which was in Stormont County. I'll have a crack at IDing some of the other pics.
Wow! That's great info. I would not doubt they were SDG, as that is where my family is from. Thanks! Frank
