Irish Fusiliers of Canada
The Irish Fusiliers of Canada had a coronet added to their badges after the initial pattern was determined to be incorrect. Phil, can you add the correct details for this badge?

That, I don't know.
I think it was probably as soon as they could, given that the regiment wished to follow the traditions of The Royal Irish Fusiliers. Phil

Mine came with a felt four leaf clover, was the proper backing for wear on the beret or side cap?

The cadet corps wore a shamrock, not a four leaf clover, as a backing on the CF green beret with the 1958 pattern capbadge. I have seen green backings cut to outline the wartime badge .

Phil, Any ideanwhen was that dress distinction worn? Was there an authority?
And, I thought the reserve army Irish Fusiliers wore a hackle behind their badge. (in contrast to the cadet practice.)

Bill...if I can help...I have a good laser photocopy of a Vancouver newspaper clipping showing a Canloan officer, CDN 532,Capt.Chambers wearing a Caubeen with the badge,(grenade and coronet), of the Irish Fusiliers with I suppose a "large" green hackle ( larger than a Black Watch hackle...straighter and higher.) The Caubeen is pulled to the right. He is also wearing the title Irish Fusiliers /(V.R.).......Capt.Chambers was to serve with the Imperial Irish Fusiliers in Italy. Jo
