Default Hi from France

Hello
I'm living in Valenciennes ( North france) and working at Mont-Houy University, the exact place where the 4th CEF Brigade gave the last assault to liberate my town in November 1918.
I began with the last Canadian VC recipient : Sergent Hugh Cairns from 46th CEF Btn, (and I try to have the cap/hat badges of this Btn) and of course the story of the whole CEF most of whose soldiers have walked at the corner of my street toward Mons (and some under the windows of what will be my office at Mont Houy)
Regards, and my apologies for my English
Alain

Welcome Alain. There are several members who have information on CEF insignia. Plus, be sure to check out the Canadian Expeditionary Force galleries.
