CEF general service badges
new to looking at Canadian badges
saw a photo in a friends house in NZ a few days ago and the chap was wearing maple leaf collar badges with CANADA on them Told him it was a Canadian soldier and given it was a family member he was most surprised how he ended up in Canadian uniform. My question: there seem to many variants of the CEF WW1 general service maple leaf badge - has anyone some reference of the different types/variants - has there been a posting on this issue I cannot find anyone got some images I can see of different variations This has become a sudden and pressing need for increased knowledge..........any help much appreciated cheers WAYNE IHAKAt

Welcome to the world of Cdn General List badges Wayne. The threads Jo linked should help you wade through the story. It was a ubiquitous badge, issed from before 1900 (qvc) through the early 1950's. Many different makers and many different uses. For most CEF soldiers, this was their first cap badge.
