Some Unusual Ones
A bit out of my collecting league here, but interesting pieces nonetheless! Canadian Machine Gun Corps badges, 1st Canadian Field Ambulance, 10th Field Amb. and Sniper Badges
 Hope you like!

Mike,
The MG/CANADA shoulders have been (mistakenly IMO) attributed to The Prince Rupert Regiment in Mazeas 1920-50 book.. Phil

Hi Mike, I agree with Phil. The MG Canada titles were not likely authorized for the Prince Rupert Regiment.
The ambulance titles are scarce, the 10 Fd Amb being harder to find in my experience. The scout badges have been attributed to snipers, but not all scouts were snipers, and not all snipers wore the scout badges.

Ok.....so is that good in regards to the Prince Rupert Rgt? I'm sorry I'm an airforce guy so I'm kinda lost here.....did I hint they were for that Regiment? I thought they were just shoulders for the CEF Machine Gun Corps......yes? lol

They are simply Canadian Machine Gun Corps shoulder titles.
I mentioned for interest sake that they have been erroneously attributed to The Prince Rupert Regiment. The General Order authorizing Prince Rupert Regiment badges made no mention at all of metal shoulder titles. Phil

Great, thanks for the help guys! I don't really know too much about these pieces. I chanced upon them a while ago, and while they've always been here, I never really took the time out to learn anything about them. I hadn't seen any other field ambulance pieces. I suppose one would have to be an actual CEF collector to have seen more of them.
