A bit of confusion here. The red 25 Bde patch became a nationality patch worn by Canadians deployed on United Nations missions. This was (And on other international taskings.) It was usually worn on one side with the UN patch on the other. I am not sure if this practice started with the Suez deployment, but they were worn on other deployments like the Congo and Cyprus. Canada participated in virtually every UN mission during the 1950's through 1970's.
