Wink Identification of collar insignia

The Canadian collar devices shown are those of the Royal Canadian Engineers;
you will notice ten (10) flames to the grenade; the Artillery has seven (7) flames; the Canada scroll indicates the badges were worn from 1914-1920; later versions of the collars dropped Canada for Ùbique.
As these badge are bronzed, they are Officers kit.

Small correction to the collar dates. They were initially authorized for the Royal Canadian Engineers in 1904.
