Abbreviations ??

[Bwetdude]

Hello,

I have the Canadian English/French Military Dictionary... (from WW2)

There is about 10 pages of abbreviations inside...

Would it be of interest if I scan them into PDF and send it to a moderator here?

They don't have a direct rapport with badges... but it might help figuring out obscure badges, cloth items...

Let me know... I'll set-up the scanner.

Hi Patrick, Send me the scans, and I will see what we can do with them.

As such it should only be used with badges of earlier construction which show the rich yellow colour of the gilt as in the case of the attached badge.

41st (Welsh) Regiment Helmet Plate worn on the Albert Shako 1844-1855.

Whilst I don't have an Albert Shako for the reference section I do have blue cloth,fusilier fur caps etc and you are welcome to use these when I get around to photographing them.
