My Great Grandfather's WWI collection
My great grandfather served in the Canadian military in WWI. He was wounded at La Somme in 1916 and died as a result of those wounds in 1918 back in Canada. While he was in Europe, he collected badges and flashes from British and Canadian bothers in arms. My great grandmother left me the collection in 1986 when she passed. There are parts of the collection I will never sell but some I certainly will. I will post several pictures of his awards and some with the collection.
Any help identifying those I haven't labeled or correcting me on those that I have would be appreciated. I will also gladly post individual front and back photos of any items anyone want to see closer to identify or discuss. Thank you all. I will start with his awards... |

Green 3 = Royal Scots. Does the Royal Dublin Fusiliers badge have lugs or a slider?

If you want these identified then the best thing to do is photo them individually, front and back, and put them in an album as it's much faster to upload. Group photos of the fronts on card is of little use.

Hello all,
I agree with Allan O This collection is a family relic. You have to take the necessary time if you want to sell a few items. Take pictures of each. Have a nice day Jean Paul |

The eight-pointed-star badge with the GvR cypher (7th badge, fourth row) in the fill board, is The Royal Canadian Regiment.
