Default 40 pc belt looking for origin.

Hello,

This hate belt turned up in Edmonton and I’m unsure of it’s age or where it’s been as well as a few of the emblems on it.

Blue=fallen off green=reapplied...I know.

In order (sort of) Hindoostan Leicester, artillery, ?, black watch, Royal Dublin fusiliers, RFA (?), (?),Canadian shoulder, machine gun corps, (unknown) infantry, Canadian shoulder, (?Tudor rose?), bomb(artillery?), Canadian engineers,Canadian tunic button, RCR (? Button), Cornwall, Canadian shoulder, 58th overseas Canadian collar, C1 Canadian?, Yorkshire regt, 52 new Ontario, ?tudor rose?), Newfoundland button, #2(unknown), Canadian c5?, engineers collar, Canada collar, 36 ulster vol, c.a.s.c?, ?carabiners?, French button, 74th Canadian overseas battalion, 1st Ontario collar, hampshire regt, 1st mounted rifles Manitoba collar pin, T6 Essex.

As far as I can tell the person who collected this may have lived in Edmonton but am totally unaware of where or when this belt was collected.

If I Really had to guess I’d say this was around the 1st battle of Ypres, possibility some short time afterwards.

The inclusion of Newfoundland in particular and the absence of America seems to slim the date.

I can rake pictures of the back and the belt as a whole in better light but generally just looking for opinions and any info

Thanks!
