Thanks Bill,
The collar dog is just the standard common maple leaf, nothing special. My Great Uncle Jack was a private.
He was wounded (GSW to the upper arm) and wore a single wound stripe. Above it is a bomber badge or trench mortarman badge? The ball is dark and the flames are light almost white. Red in the photo would appear as very dark as on the PPCLI shoulder patch background.
The photo was taken in the summer of 1917.
See attached.
Cheers,
Nick
