Pre-WWI Coloured Shoulder Straps, Victoria-Esquimalt Garrison Units

[Rodd Hill]

Came across these three group photos in the archives at work; thought that they gave a good look at the prewar coloured shoulder straps (photos date to 1912, give or take a year or so).

11 Coy, Canadian Ordnance Corps:




3 Coy, Canadian Engineers:




5th Royal Canadian Garrison Artillery (at Fort Rodd Hill. I walk under these same Garry oak trees every day):

What is the cap badge worn in the last image?
