Canadian Canvas Flashes

[Phillip Herring]

Does anybody have a list of the authorised canvas flashes issued to the Canadian Army 1939-45?
I am bringing this up as I saw a large display of flashes in Ottawa and was told that some of the canvas flashes were fantasy pieces. These were to units that did not go overseas. I would have to do some rooting around to find the units.
I was told that some of these flashes were made up by a now deceased dealer in Ottawa a number of years ago. I picked up a number of RCCS formation patches from this dealer and it was only after some rather pointed questions from me that the sales assistant admitted that these badges were not original.
Any thoughts?
