Canadian Ordnance Corps

[Bill A]

These helmets were worn by the Army Ordnance Department in Britain and adopted by Canada . The uniforms was similar to the AOC; blue with red facings and “peakless forage caps’. The beaver was surmounted on the ordnance arms to denote Canada (left Pic). The evolution of a distinctly Canadian uniform took another 2-3 years.
