1 CANPARA flash
I can have your opinion on this 1 CANAPARA flash, is it the late war british made type, no glow under UV light.

The title was not worn by the Battalion. The starch backs came out around the end of the war in 1945, maybe June or July. 1 Can Para was one of the first battalions repatriated at the end of the war and they were back in Canada by mid-June. There would be some personnel floating around the depot or on other duties in the UK who may have acquired these, but they were a private purchase item. The correct pattern looks very similar on the obverse but has a backing material usually a cream or buff coloured cotton. Bundles of this pattern were nos and have been available since the war.
