Misc. Canadian Badges
Hi, bought a box of cloth badges yesterday and amongst them were these Canadian badges. I'm assuming they are post-war but how do you tell what time frame? outside of armoured units I'm lost. Any ideas about where to look would be appreciated, thanks in advance Mike. PS is the Infantry Corps badge Canadian?

Morning. The cloth is mostly post SWW. There is a mix of pre-1968 and post unification badges. The gold on dark green Seaforth, the gold on dark green abbreviated titles and combat titles all date from the 60's through 1990's. The Infantry Corps title was a modification of the pattern issued late in the SWW. The story can be read here https://servicepub.wordpress.com/201...y-corps-patch/. The RCAPC, RCASC and RCE abbreviated titles and the Veterans Guard full title are SWW era. The round Korea patch is a souvenir. The remainder are titles issued for the battledress circa 1948-1968.

Hi Bill, thanks for the info. The Infantry Corps must be one of the cut down titles as it has a white melton interlay, unless they made them with the underlay later. Very useful information and thank you again, best wishes Mike
