Default 10 Flame embroidered grenades
These 10 flame grenades are embroidered. They would be worn with chevrons for sergeants confirmed in their rank in the Royal Engineers?

I thought these were for the Canadian Grenadier Guards.

If they are for the Canadian Military Engineers there are too many flames, unless they are not following the Royal Engineers.

There are a couple of previous threads that indicated the RE grenades used 10 flames crica the First World War. Canadian Engineers followed the imperial practices closely.
