War correspondent
Found this photo while trolling Korean war photos at the LAC. The badges are those worn by Canadian war correspondents. Regrettably, not in colour but I am assuming khaki wool, similar to the battledress uniform.

Hi Clive, Nice images. The insignia are made in yellow on green. The example I have posted came from the estate of Bill Bos.
The shoulder titles show up once and awhile but the leaf pattern is very scarce. I am not sure how/where it was worn. Some indicate it was a cap badge, but it quite large to be a cap.
