Hi Michael, There is considerable confusion in collecting circles when distinguishing between the pre-1914 Canadian militia and the CEF. They were both numbered, and some CEF battalions actually used the militia number as well. (Perhaps one of the best examples is the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders who were the 72nd in both the militia and CEF.) I also made a mistake and should have moved the 31st BC Horse to the cavalry seniority list.
The French Canadiens badge is for the 41st Bn CEF. I am wondering if the stamp engravers labelled CEF badges to their militia parents? Is it possible to post scans of the stamps? There may be a connection between the Lincolnshire Yeo and Canada. Did the Lincolnshire Yeo serve in the First World War? They may have been connected with the Canadian Cavalry Bde.
