M118 Cameron Highlanders
Re the cut-out badges for post-WWI Cameron Highlanders (Maz. M118), could anyone tell me if they are/were all 43rd CEF Cameron badges (Charlton 43-A) which were modified, or did they also use other Cameron CEF types, like the 174th? Thanks.

Hi David, Do you have an image of one of the cut out badges?

Bill: No I don't, sorry. Mazeas and the forum 1920s project here both show cut-down 43rd CEF badges (Charlton 43a) for the post-WWI M118 Cameron badge. Reason I asked was there was a cut-down Cameron badge on EBay I was interested in (but didn't get), which was a cut-out 174th badge (Charlton 174), with remnants of the 1 and 4 on the cross arms. I was looking for confirmation that both the 43rd and 174th badges were chopped up for use post-war.

Could someone post an image of a WW1 example of the 43rd. What should I look for? I have aquired a pair and plaque to a Somme casualty and want a original badge for the group. Arctic Medals have two but very expensive, why so costly compared to other inf units?
Thanks TRT |
