Default Signals Badges - Pre-14

A relative of mine was a Signaller in the Queens Own Rifles in Toronto between 1912 - 1914. I have found his name on unit registers from the time.

What badges would he have worn for this period? Would he have had the brass signals badges worn on CEF tunics?

Thanks,

Cam

Cam,
The crossed flags signallers badges was in use since Victorian times so he would have worn such a badge on his arm.

regards

Cam, here is a rough timeline of QOR of C cap badges which may be of help.
