Hi all, I've added some more lanyards to my collection, nos. 15-24. Note that I'm confident that #15 (purple) is Chaplin. Note that #21&22 are quite similar except that the colors are reversed, perhaps a NCO/Officer or ORs/NCO?
So far, the best resource I've found is htttp://www.canadiansoldiers.com/insignia/lanyards.htm I will remove the link if it in any way contravenes the R&R of the Forum. I welcome your insights. Greg |

I located some RCE accoutrements recently from the estate of a ret. RCE CWO, and the lanyards were not a multistrand style, but rather a woven "cable", but with the same colours. Did the RCE lanyards vary by rank?

Lanyard #24
Greg. It is identical to #6 and is a RCOC lanyard. The two blue and one red cord reflect the original Corps colours. The cord is twisted so that the corps colours run from the left shoulder to the right hip.
I was in the museum this week and dug out some pistol lanyards and they are identical to the one that was in Jacks' father in laws pack. This would make sense as the other items were 'webbing'. Cheers Al |

There were three variations of the CWAC lanyard - narrow twisted, narrow braided, wide braided. The one in the photo is narrow twisted.
The CWAC never selected an official lanyard. The CWAC regs said simply that lanyards were compulsory for officers but not for ORs, and it was up to the officers to ensure uniformity within the unit. |

More on the CWAC lanyards.
The military band wore a wide braided lanyard in yellow and dark brown. The yellow cord was the central cord and the bark brown cord was the horizontal braid. This info is based on photo evidence. The peace time CWAC lanyard was yellow and dark brown twisted. DT. |

Greg,
I'd say 20, 21, and 22 are all RC Signals. There is a variation in the wrap colour and material of 21 that I haven't seen before but the main parts all look to be the same colours. Variations between the three are just different shades from dirt / fading. 23 is not signals.

I will admit that I don't have any primary sources to back it up but I would say that it's from the three Corps colours, roughly light blue, dark blue and green. The stable belt also featured the three colours.
I'm still looking for sources but from what I've learned, there were four styles of lanyards worn (not counting basic white). I don't know under what conditions or periods they were worn but they were: 1. Blue 'twist'. (construction as per #24 shown above) 2. Tri-colour twist (construction as per #24, colours as per 20-22, shown here: http://www.rcsigs.ca/ViewItem/190/) 3. Tri-colour 'macrame' (as shown #20-22) 4. Blue 'macrame' (as shown #17) I'm still on the hunt for authoritative sources so if anyone has any, please send them along!! Joe
