the second one goes on the Dress Uniform.

From 68 to 74 in Edmonton and from 75 till disbanded in Petawawa.
Just to clarify, the dates above are incorrect. They would be for the Canadian Airborne Regiment alone and not the SSF. The Cdn Ab Regt was in Edmonton from 1968 to 1977 when it moved to Petawawa. In 1977 Petawawa was rebaged from the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade to the Special Service Force, a brigade size formation. All members of the Brigade wore the woven patch on dress uniforms. The SSF rebaged in 1996 to 2 CMBG.
