Royal Winnipeg Rifles cloth collars

[Bill A]

An item on my bucket list, the cloth collar badges for the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. These were acquired, unofficially by the R Wpg R shortly after they were mobilized. Worn on the collars of the battledress by the CASF battalion, they were taken down shortly after they arrived in the UK.

Do you know of any other WWII Cdn. units that wore cloth collars?

There may be others, but I don't have any documentary evidence.
