The cap badge he is wearing is either the Canadian Overseas Railway Construction Corps or the 3rd Bn Canadian Railway Troops. Nice officers' pattern badge.

Hello Jo, I'm glad to review your posts on the forum.
Very beautiful cap badge anyway, I have never seen in my area. Have a nice day in Québec. Jean-Paul |

Belt
As nice as the badges may be, what has me intrigued is the web pattern Sam Browne belt. I have never seen that before and would think that if it was something "made up" that an individual would borrow a leather one for a portrait photo.

Belt looks American- cross strap could be made from British '08 pattern strap/straps. Interesting set up. Regards, Paul.

I know a collector who is lucky enough to own one of those 1911's of the Canadian "Contract". He met the original soldier and was given the pistol, holster and his medals by the widow. It makes for quite a special display.
