Odd in the sense that the BCATP allowed the nationality titles of the airmans nation to be worn instead of RCAF. Those candidates were not Canadian and were not represented as such. The air force USA/Canada titles somehow snuck through the approval process. They caused significant problems when US citizens who had enlisted in the Canadian army requested permission to wear USA titles on the army bd. They cited the practice in the RCAF as a precedent but the practice of wearing other nationality titles on the army uniform was eventually prohibited.
Was the Sierra Leone rank worn in addition to Canadian rank? There is a precedent for that in the Kiska tasking. Canadian officers wore US rank along side Canadian inisignia. But that is the other way around.
The point is that if the fellow is a Trinidadian o/c, he is not Canadian. Should he not have only his national insignia on the uniform?
