Royal Canadian Armoured Collection
 
From an older collection. The tags were created by the original owner in the 60's and early 70's. These boards were displayed at local insignia shows. There are likely some mistakes and possibly a few filler pieces to complete the display. All input and corrections are most welcome. Had to photo in 3 sections to get this board all in. There is a 2nd board to this Armoured group and will post later. Hope you enjoy, Jack

Thanks for the positive comments fellas. I have looked them over a number of times and have picked up a fair amount regarding unit lineage.

Hi Jo, are you referring to the pair, rather shiny in the photo, under the Ft Garry Horse, half way down?

Thanks
Jack

Interesting to see the pre-computer era text and the work behind putting the display together.

While a cavalry regiment in name, the 2/10th Dragoons served as infantry after being mobilized.

I will put together an addendum sheet with corrections. The boards were assembled without any thought for ever taking them apart. Good news is all lugs etc are intact, not so good is the cloth has been glued down to the white material backing.


Thanks to all for their input. Jack

Hi Jack,

A really splendid collection you have there. Looking forward to the album.

Cheers, Roy.

Try using a heat gun to the rear of the material glued to the flashes in order to remove them. Just go carefully.

There is an interesting mix of wartime and post-war cloth titles.
