Default BC Regiment (DCO) uniforms pics
Lieutenant Colonel H.F.G. Letson, 1929-1930

Note he is wearing the Cap badge without the "South Africa 1899-1900" battle honour, which was finally awarded in 1933.

Default BC Regt (DCOR)
Trooper Otto Victor Feist (later KIA) while the Regt was still an Infantry unit. Taken in 1940, and the same man circa 1943, note the wearing berets which were still a novelty to the men.

Default Vancouver Regt Uniform
Vancouver Regt Uniform, I'm 100% sure the collars are not correct but the tunic, cap badge and buttons are.

Hello DCOR, great images. Re Tpr O.Feist, the first image. The date must be later than 1940, as no formation patches were authorirzed for the 4th Div until at least mid 1941. Is Tpr. Feist related to the singer Feist?

I think the collars are RCAF/RAF Volunteer Reserve.
The cap badge is an ORs. The officers had silver /gilt.
Please see my albums.

I think you are looking for collars similar to these. Usually seem to be a number of good, matched pairs around.

David,
The collars you pictured are for the Irish Fusiliers of Canada (The Vancouver Regiment).
The Vancouver Regiment collar can be seen in this eBay listing.
Please note: All gilding metal
Tablet: "29TH BN. C.E.F."
Scroll: "VANCOUVER REGIMENT/1ST BN."

Phil
