Morning BC.
Identifications. The maple leaf patch is for a windbreaker / sweatshirt etc. No 10 Training Center was in Kitchener Ontario. (Hence the K.) The 1st SSM patch is also a jacket patch. 1 Surface to Surface Missile Battery was a Royal Canadian Artillery unit operating Honest John rockets as part of the NATO brigade. It was organized in 1960 and disbanded in 1970. It was capable of firing tactical nuclear weapons. The 765 is a shoulder title for the Copper Cliff army cadet unit in Sudbury Ontario. They are common. The best titles are the printed Calgary Regiment and 48th Highlanders from the Second WW. The pale blue 48th Highlanders title is spurious. Essex & Kent Scottish are 1955 to 1968 era. The fully embroidered titles are cadet titles from the 1980s. And, the Canadian Armoured Corps titles are Second WW era, but common.
