Default NEWFOUNDLAND shoulder title
Currently on eBay is a brass title FC and below (curved) NEWFOUNDLAND.
What is the expansion of FC?

Hard to tell, but is it a cobbled together title? With the FC/bar soldered to the Newfoundland title?

An observation. Most collectors assume the Newfoundland cap badge was worn by the Royal Newfoundland, but in the link to the Newfoundland Forestry Corps, it is clear that the forestry contingent also wore the caribou cap badge.
