If it looks like either of these Alan has it right. The button on the right is Officers. These buttons are also worn by the Saskatoon Lt. Infantry the sister Regiment.

Yes, that's the button. Sorry, can't make out which one it is due to the silver part being worn quite smooth.

Thanks

I have had another look at comparing the photos and my button....

On my button,there are not 2 vertical lines on the horn beneath the crown as on the photo.

The 3 lines shown on the photos on the horn on the rh side are depicted by only 2 on my button. Not sure if this means anything?
