Can anyone identify the hat badge worn by the Major in the front row on the far left? H&PE Regiment?

Black beret
The major in the back row 3rd from the right is wearing a silver LDSH officers cap with a black beret.

Many of the officers are Cadet Instructors List, they would be wearing green berets, most likely the lighting in the pic makes the berets look all black

Interesting, the fellow with the tam and work dress shirt is wearing rank without Canada tabs, he must be an exchange officer. Back in the day CIL would have exchange officers with the UK and Germany, not sure about other countries.

Major in work dress
I just asked my father who is in the pic and he said he does not remember the name of the Major in the work dress uniform but he was from the Canadian Black Watch. I found the names of these officers on the vernon army cadet website

Hi
Yeah, I guess it is the lighting. I was comparing the Strathcona and his obviously black beret to the others. Back on subject; I'd suggest that the man in question is a Rocky Mountai Ranger based on the 2nd paragraph in the following link to 1787 Army Cadet Corps: http://www.armycadethistory.com/Cade...1787_2000s.htm regards Darrell

http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/mob...s/?id=10043302 It was not uncommon for ex-Reg Force members who transferred to the Supp Reserve to do periods of service in support of cadet activities. Major McQueen moved to Lumby, BC (about 10 miles from the Vernon Cadet Camp) the year before the picture was taken and so it would probably had been an easy fit for a summer (or more) of employment. |
