HELP! Can anyone identify this cap badge
3 Attachment(s)
Can anyone help identify this cap badge/ uniform/ redgiment. We believe he was either stationed or passed through Scotland and think he went to Ghent Belgium during the Second World War. He is a long lost family member and we only know he's firts name was Walter.

Welcome to the Forum - possibly Canadian?
|
Only thing I can add is that the third image, of the march past, was made somewhere in the Netherlands. A larger city because of the street car tracks.

Engineers?
From first glance the cap badge looks like a Royal Engineers, but looking at the left hand BD blouse pocket there is a small ribbon above it with a device superimposed on it which could be a maple leaf, so my guess Canadian Engineers.

That's not a VC ribbon is it?
|
My guess is also Royal Canadian Engineers.

Possibly 3rd Field Company Royal Canadian Engineers ?
Service/training in Scotland. Service in Holland. https://www.reubique.com/3FC-RCE.htm . |
Thank you all for taking the time to help us with this! You have all opened a lot of avenues for us to follow and research. Please feel free to share anything else you observe or pick up on. :)

The medal is the Canadian Volunteer Service medal and the maple leaf indicates overseas service
