crica 1915 Canadian Collars - ID please?
Can anyone ID these collars ?
They belong to a Welshman that signed up in the UK for a Canadian Regiment and then settled in Canada after the Great War. I dont have any other details apart from a family photo..... and only the collar badges. The photo is slightly out of focus and therefore I cant ID the buttons etc.

Hello Griff, The collars are very vague, but they look like the general list maple leaf pattern.

Hi Griff, No name? There just isn't enough info in that image to suggest anything.

His name is "Norman Hopwood Jones" or "Henry Hopwood Jones"...... I think the Officer is "Wilfred Jones" (his brother). Although they are Welsh.... they are from Cumberland in England (sheep farming stock).

Norman Hopwood Jones
I have just come across this thread, almost by chance.
Norman Hopwood Jones was my first cousin twice removed - that is, the son of my great-grandmother's sister Eliza (nee Hopwood - born in Treuddyn, Flintshire, Wales) and her husband Henry Jones, of Penrith, Cumbria, England. Norman's brothers were Wilfred Edward Jones (1894-1975), whose son Morris was an usher at my parents' wedding in 1948; and Henry Stanley Hopwood Jones (known as Stanley, 1890-1987). His sister Margaretta (1891-1986), known as "Det" - my grandmother's cousin - was someone I remember well from family events when I was a child. Norman was born in Penrith in 1900/01 - I don't have a precise date. I would be fascinated to know more about his life, or the provenance of his badges. I know that his brother Stanley emigrated to British Columbia, so I guess they would have been owned by him. Although I have done a fair amount of research into family history I did not previously know that Norman had emigrated to Canada. I realise that this is quite an old thread, but if anyone can provide any more information, I would be very grateful. |
