Royal Canadian Navy Chaplain's button design
On page 82 of his book "Buttons of the Canadian Militia, etc." Eric Smylie has a Royal Canadian Navy Chaplain's button. The design was used 1910-1964.
Is this correct? I have always presumed that the design belonged to the Polish navy.

I cannot say its Polish as I dont know, but I do know its definitely not an RCN Chaplain's button, as such a button did not exist to the best of my knowledge.
RCN Chaplains were Officers & like all other RCN Officers wore the Officers gilt button with CANADA across the anchor. Bryan Last edited by RCN; 11-10-10 at 02:32 PM.
