Chromed RCASC

[fearnaught]

Hi, did the Canadian armoured units chrome their badges like some of the British units attached to armoured units? The reason I ask is I picked up this badge over the week-end and wondered if this was the case, thanks in advance, Mike

Hi Mike, No that was not a practice in the Canadian army. The chromed RCASC badge is likely for wear with the blue patrols uniform. It may also be a RCASC band badge.

If , like the British RASC the CRASC had it's own workshops it's always possible that some bored squaddie decided to chrome the badge. Stranger things have happened.
