CEF Chaplain Cap and Collar Badge Insignia Types
 

As a novice CEF badge collector who has a particular interest in chaplains, could someone possibly enlighten me as to the difference between these particular badges? I have the Charlton guide, but outside of somewhat antiquated pricing, the entries aren't particularly edifying. I have found period photos of both types in wear on caps and collars during the First World War, but beyond that... Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Check out this DRAFT Reference, not to be taken as gospel but a great resource.

That's great, thank you!

I pulled the trigger on my first foray into CEF collecting and picked up a complete set of chaplain badges, all Gaunt marked and in excellent condition. I can see these being the first of many.

Nice set of badges. Could you post an image of the backs, please?

Here you are.

Could you note the collar inscription? Old eyes can't read it.

On the reverse? “J.R. GAUNT LONDON”.

Thank-you. Nice set of badges, which are either CEF or post First World War.

Thank you. While the guide posted above says that CEF chaplains didn’t use uniquely Canadian insignia until around October 1918, I have found one image of these badges worn earlier. This is Captain William Henry Davis, who was killed in action in France on August 9th, 1918. The collar badges aren’t as clear, but the cap badge is certainly this late Gaunt variation.
