Default UN Missions

The smaller UN Missions in the 1950s had Canadian Staff Officers attached to them, so outside of the Korea threatre there are a few possible locations where this brassard could have worn.

As well, the holes in the should strap portion of the brassard reveal that the rank insignia worn with this item were the metal stars and crowns. This could also be an indicator of where this particular item was used.

You basically have to keep an open mind with material from this period and say "Okay it is correct for the period, but was it used in Korea; well perhaps, or maybe but you do not know for sure."
