Default Boar War to Cad pattern titles

Hello My name is Alan
Smith I'm in Edmonton Alberta Canada.

Back working on my reference book on Canadian Army Cloth/Melton
Shoulder Titles which I have around 5000 different ones. The Range
is Boar War to date. I would like to get information by units for items
I know should be out there. Canada Militia Shoulder Straps I have
GGFG Mens and Officers and 79 Camerions. in the Boar War Flash the
one I have is QOR. I am also looking for the Korea War unoffiial titles.
I don't have much in the last 10 years. So open to suggestions. If you
can send a colour photo with a size gauge please as I plan to list at 100%
size and would like to have this available on line for use or research. i'm
not sure how to do this.

User Name Right Dress is what you see on the army you are dressing.

Well, I learned something new as I was always lead to believe that the war in South Africa was called the BOER WAR.

The only porcine conflict that comes to mind is the "Pig War" of 1859 on San Juan Island.

I think your time would be put to better use by working so that you can buy a copy of Bill Alexander's Fabric of War. In your spare time you might want to take an English course and brush up on your spelling and grammar before attempting write on a subject that has already been thoroughly covered.
