Wow! First off thank you for looking into this further. That particular badge is among the ones that have been passed on to me (and showing more signs of wear than the majority of the badges I have). It is TOTALLY possible that the date attributed to the photo is incorrect.
Many thanks Mike |

Many thanks Mike p.s. I also have two C/3 collar badges on a beaver from the same 1936/39 time period identified by a Forum member as belonging to the Grenadiers. |

The Royal Regiment of Canada was authorized their new badge under the GO 181/1939, but documentation suggests the new design of the badges were not ready by the time the Royal's embarked for overseas. In the meantime, they continued to wear their former badge.

Hi Dan, They would have worn what was available. There were supplies of the First WW general list badges for new recruits. Some fellows from the militia would wear their old badges, sometimes collar badges were worn.
Several units from 2 CID were authorized to purchase badges when they arrived in the UK. That included the RHLI, Carleton & York Regt, and iiuc, the Royal Regiment. There may have been more.
