commonwealth published works page

I was looking at the Published Works page for the Commonwealth and saw they are missing a pretty extensive piece of research. It's called "a Catalogue of Twentieth Century Canadian Military Cloth and Metal Shoulder Titles" by William Hampson... published by William Hampson at Calgary Alberta. It's a 3 volume set of approx 1350 pages and while not in color(which would have been spectacular) and no photographs (line drawings) it's still a great reference to have on this subject. I picked them up from Al Kerr at Milarms in Edmonton a couple of years ago but don't have any idea of where another copy could be attained.... I'd say keep your eyes open for them... Jim

I heard Bill's in the process of revising his publication, and it's even bigger this go around!

We have a copy for reference, but have never had any for sale, that I can remember.

Rife with errors and based almost purely on popular belief instead of solid research. I stopped using mine years ago.

Hi Jim,

Thanks to input from Dwayne, John C, Bill A and Ed S I have almost completed the 2nd edition of Distinguishing Patches. I hope to get this out before September.
Cheers,
