Canadian Naval Forces folder
Prime Minister Borden’s government created a Canadian navy in 1910 and the next year it became “Royal.”
In the time before it became the Royal Canadian Navy what was Canada’s navy called? What was the Canadian Naval Forces? This folder appears to never have been used. It is 21 x 16.5cms. What would its purpose be? |

Although it isn't used regularly, the first appearance of the phrase "Canadian Naval Forces" in the Canada Gazette is in 1910:

Service Writing Kit
It looks like it may have been for a SWW Service Writing Kit which contained envelopes and writing paper.

Would a Service Writing Kit be something issued for some official purpose or purchased privately so letters could be written home? |
