35th Regiment Simcoe Foresters
 

here are the 35th pill box numbers and 35th shoulder. also the bear collars facing

one of the low periods after the war was the downsizing and the forresters got hit and where reformed into an ant-tank unit the 45th which actually only lasted one year and the insiginia is extremely rare this occured 1946.

45 AT Regt
 

Paul, The G & SF were the 45 Anti-Tank Regt RCA from 1946 until 1954. In 1954 the 45 AT Regt was redesignated the Grey & Simcoe Foresters (28th Armoured Regiment) RCAC. The artillery slip-on is a very difficult slip-on.
(See Stewart, Concise Lineages of the Canadian Army 1855-Date, Telford, Scarlet to Green, the colours, uniforms and insignia of the GREY and SIMCOE FORESTERS, Brown, Foresters The Canadian Quest for Peace, Van Der Schee Cloth Epaulette Titles - The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, etc.)

YA got all the books and have a very complete collection out east as I grew up in BARRIE and am 5 generation simcoe thanks . tHE LIGHT ANTI AIRCRAFT designation went on for some time but the ant tank designation only lasted one year maybe less.
