The GS badge was to diffenrentiate General Service soldiers (those who had volunteered for,or had been appointed to, in the Active Army for the duration of the war) from conscripts.
In 1945,personnel authorisd to wear the GS badge were those who had voluntarily enlisted in the Canadian Army, or those who had been called out by the Militia Act, who had voluntarily enlisted for General Service "anywhere". This dis not include NRMA (National Resources Mobilization Act) soldiers.
