Thanks Clive! I am sure the public library has a copy, next time I am downtown I will check it out.

Post WW1 issue of GS badges
Just a quick note from Joe Harper's A Source of Pride:
Regarding badges for reorganized units, MO 204, 13 April 1921 was issued stating: Maple Leaf Cap and Collar badges are available in Ordnance Stores and may be issued in the usual manner to all units of the Non-Permanent Active Militia as a temporary measure until such time as Badges and Crests, which have been submitted to Militia Headquarters have been approved of and issued. |

For what it's worth . . .
Here is the General Service board of my CEF collection.
Some of the designs are clearly WWI, as indicated by the makers marks and dates on them. I'm sure we all have several of these. In the enclosed photo, I number the styles as: Type 1 - seemingly the most common (I have a dozen of these as place holders for units like 9th Bn, 7th CMR, 247th Bn, 248th Bn, etc); Type 2 - a gilt, pin-back version similar to 1; Type 3 & Type 4 - better looking OR's variants of 1, different enough to merit a place in a collection; Type 5 (A and B) - yellow metal and dark metal versions of a different pattern; Type 6 - a probably officer's version, pickled; Type 7 - space left for other varieties; Type 8 - a style claimed by some to be for the Roy Cdn Nav Air Svc, but unlikely to be used only by them; Type 9 - the version used by Mazeas on the back of his 1920-52 book; and Type 10 (A & B), the yellow metal and dark metal versions of a different pattern. How many of these are from the CEF? I don't know. I have a QVC one from the Boer War, which rightly is in my QVC collection. With my 1901-20, 1920-36, and 1936-52 collections, I have included one OR's and one Officer's General Service cap badge. In each case, I cannot be sure that I'm actually using something correct to that period. I have used a "Type 9" for my 1901-20 and 1936-52 collections, based on nothing more than liking the look of it. I have used a "Type 10" for my 1920-36 collection based on the colour of the yellow metal used in it being common in 20-36 badges, but unused in CEF badges. I'd love to know more about the chronology of these badges. |

To confuse further, a KC maple leaf collar badge made by Scullys with a convex "Canada" banner was used by Cadet Services of Canada officers between 1924 and 1953. It was replaced with a much smaller and more recognizable/distinctive QC maple leaf collar badge.
