Hi all, I picked up a pair of Chinese Labour Battalion badges. Cross calls the badge the Canadian Labour Company. Brooker calls it the Chinese Labour Corps. There is some discussion of the various labour companies in the attached link but no image of the C.L.C badge. I hope these are good. Note that there are two variants - a two-tang and a 4-tang version. The seller felt that one was a collar and the other was the cap. I have no idea but hope that someone with the Forum knows for sure.
Regards,
Greg

"Chinese Labour Company (Brooker) - or Canadian Labour Company (Cross). This unit was MAY have been composed of ethnic workers imported from China and possibly POWs employed in the allied work effort. Troops were imported into Canada in British Columbia from China, transported by rail to the easy coast, traveling to France to be used as labourers. Very little is know about this unit. The badge is in two variants, one has 4 tangs, N/S, E/W. The other has 2 tangs E/W. It is supposition that the 4 tang version may be the hat badge, the 2 tang version the collar." from my description in my CEF album.
