Applicant Rejected pin
Hi
A recent acquisition purported to be the first variety of pin given to Canadians in the SWW who were rejected for service. This would be before a more proper "Applicant for Enlistment" badge was authorized. The previous owner is looking for the early wartime newspaper article where this badge is described. 2.5cm across with metal ring and pin. Cellulose covered paper with a metal ring and pin. I am not sure at what level it was used. According to VAC: Quote:
What we know to be the "Applicant for Enlistment" badge was authorized by Order in Council P.C. 7893 on Saturday, October 11, 1941. The first public were released on 15 October, 1941 so this cellulose pin could be its predecessor. Hoping for that article. Anyone else see one before or have thoughts on this? regards Darrell
