Default 10th Battalion CEF - Never before Seen
Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen.....

Just picked up the following at a Garage Sale and I have never seen a 10th Battalion CEF Cap Badge all in white metal.....

The plate on the back reads..... "HICKS & SONS - LONDON"

Your Opinion Please..... And be Kind.....

Also picked up the single Officers Calgary Highlanders Collar marked.... "Birks Sterling"

Mike

Hi Mike, A white metal 10th Bn cap badge is listed in Cross' Charlton Standard Catalogue of First World War Canadian Infantry Badges. No maker. It is listed as an other ranks badge. Scarce badge. The Calgary Highlander's officer's collar is also a nice badge.

Been to cold and wet in saskatchewan for the garage sale season to start yet. When it does I hope that I'm as lucky as you as this is a very nice pickup. Well done!

according to Harper's book a white metal 10th badge was worn by the Pipe band of the Calgary Highlanders after the 1st war.
all the best Dan
