In my understanding, the CGG ball grenade badges of WW1 vintage were lugged, not a slider.

Hi Andy,

Here are some pics. Badge is blackened so I hope enough detail comes through.

No problem to add to your album - let me know where to send the files if you want higher resolution.

Cheers, Ian.

Default RE: "plain" grenade ?
Forum entry M148 shows a "plain" grenade being worn by The Winnipeg Grenadiers, perhaps you have one.

Default 87th battalion CCG
I was going through a photographic record of the 87th battalion CEF...each member of the unit has an individual photo. The first page of the album clearly shows the cap badge with cypher on it.

Until recently I didn''t know I had any family members that served in the great war....A little research found that I did. I was lucky enough that this album had his picture.
