Replies: 10 221st Winnipeg Bulldog Views: 1,587 Posted By Seathanaich 18th Manitoba Mounted Rifles Although the 221st isn't perpetuated by them, the bulldog is almost certainly borrowed from the 18th Manitoba Mounted Rifles cap badge design.

The "no atheists in foxholes" claim is typical of the bigotry that atheists still encounter from religionists. It's not true and it's meant to be demeaning of others, which sums up religion rather...

Replies: 6 Seaforth Highlanders Views: 1,579 Posted By Seathanaich Gaelic Yes, the motto is frequently mis-spelled "GUIDICH" rather than the correct "CUIDICH". The " 'N" rather than "AN" in the Seaforth motto is also odd to me - there's no need to abbreviate "AN" to " 'N";...

I'm surprised they're not abolished, and replaced by trained counsellors and psychiatrists.

The point of raising this isn't "semantics", the point was to correct incorrect usage (people always cry "semantics" when someone corrects their usage).

Replies: 21 Canadian airborne forces insignia Views: 4,637 Posted By Seathanaich I can attest to the authenticity of those cap badges. I took the Infantry Section Commanders Course at Petawawa in the late spring/early summer of 1995 - just as The Canadian Airborne Regiment was being disbanded after Somalia. I can verify that the SSF...

Replies: 12 CANSOP Views: 5,755 Posted By Seathanaich An opportunity wasted. This JTF-2 thing is a biker tattoo, not proper Canadian insignia. For starters, the half globe should be stylised, not a space photo, and the dagger should be a Sykes-Fairbairn, not a piece of...

Replies: 1 University of Toronto COTC Button Views: 1,920 Posted By Seathanaich That's what I'd assume. I think you can comfortably assume it's for the U of Toronto; and since Ellis made items aren't encountered after WWI it's also safe to assume it's from the Great War era.
