Default Canadian Brassard, 25th bde

Hello,

I've just received this brassard below which has raised a few questions:


I assume that it is Korean War vintage - though I know the 25th bde badge was used by other UN formations later, as I understand it, the RCR was not deployed on any of those.

Also, could the type of brassard give any idea of the date? I remember seeing a Canadian Dental Corps pair of brassards of the same shape on this forum, but most do not seem to be of this type.

As I'm sure you can guess, Canadian badges are not by forte but it is always interesting to learn about new aspects of the hobby!

All best,

BP

That's odd, but not the first time I've had problems with images hosted on this site.
Here is a link:

Thanks for letting me know.

That's the one - thought I'd posted a link earlier. I've also had a go a re-pasting the photo (does it work now?)



Anyway, does anyone have a date for this type of brassard (with epaulettes)?
