An overlooked error. Thanks to cavalryman for pointing out that Mazeas has mis-labelled C 56. It should be correctly labelled the Canadian Armoured Corps. The GO date is correct for the CAC.

A second pattern of the New Brunswick Rangers cap badge exists. The variety reads "NEW BRUNSWICK RANGERS" on the scroll, no "THE". To assist in identification, it will be listed as M111a.

The badge listed at VA 4 should read Women's Ambulance Corps, BCAA. Probably the badge at VA 5 is also a Women's Ambulance Corps as well.

Thanks cdndragoon. So the cypher would be the VRI one pre 1900. I wonder if the VRI cyphers that are attributed to the RCR were also really RCD?

Related question, is it possible that the RCD wore the royal cyphers in the same manner as the RCR prior to the adoption of the springbok badges? It is odd that there was not a pre-springbok collar...

Hi cdndragoon, Thanks for that note. I think we may have discussed the "cutthroat" collars earlier? That pattern was not authorized until shortly before the war.

I guess in the strictest sense of the word, the badge is a variety, but un-approved. The error I am referring to is the drawing for the Mazeas badge M114. He included the 25, but there is no "1"...

Mazeas C 15 shows the wrong pattern shoulder title. GO 151/1928 indicates the title is brass, curved down in 1/2 inch high letters. (The same title as worn by the First Hussars.)

Mazeas M5, Governor General's Foot Guards has the wrong GO cited. It should read GO 108 / 1932. The pre-1914 badge was worn until the new design was authorized and procured.

Thanks for the note on the collar Mike. Mazeas has GO's for most badges, but it wasn't a requisite condition for inclusion.
