Default Irish Fusiliers of Canada
The Irish Fusiliers of Canada had a coronet added to their badges after the initial pattern was determined to be incorrect. Phil, can you add the correct details for this badge?

Note the wire reinforcement for attaching the coronet.

I think Phil H has that information. The badge was approved by GO in 1937, but it was sometime coming into wear.

Phil, There is no indication of the date at which the coronet was added?

That, I don't know.
I think it was probably as soon as they could, given that the regiment wished to follow the traditions of The Royal Irish Fusiliers.
