RMC badge on pipe banner

[Victoria Edwards]

All,

E-veritas, (Royal Miitary Colleges of Canada alumi journal) featured an article of interest to the thread about a pipe banner featuring both a RMC & CMR badge. http://everitas.rmcclub.ca/?p=46480

I'm curious about pipe banners featuring military badges in general. Stories about banners featuring Canadian Mil Col images could made interesting follow up articles in e-veritas.

E3161 Victoria Edwards (RMC 2003)

On 11 November 2010. A Pipe Banner was presented to the RMC Pipes and Drums by 6137 LCol (retd) Wyn van der Schee, Class of 1964. The Banner is a two-sided, swallow-tailed flag with the RMC badge on the obverse side and the CMR de St-Jean badge and the donor’s college number on the reverse, representing the two Colleges attended by the donor. The donor included the colour of the RMC squadron to which he belonged, No. 2, as the background for the RMC badge, while the light blue background of the CMR badge represents his squadron at CMR, Maisonneuve. Both badges are embroidered in gold and silver wire and the appropriate coloured threads, and the Banner itself is fringed along the outer edges with gold wire. It is attached to the bass drone of the bagpipes.
