Teddy Bears (mil col)

[Victoria Edwards]

The Royal Military College of Canada and the Royal Military College Saint Jean sell teddy bears in their kit shops, which feature their military badges.

The RMC Saint Jean has a brown bear wearing a Mil Col button, pillbox hat, and waist sash. The RMC has a polar bear wearing a Mil Col button, pillbox hat, and waist sash.

I am curious about the tradition of military teddy bears (or other stuffed characters) in general, and in particular as regards the Canadian Military Colleges.
