Tony Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Hello Darrell,It's great to have family stuff!The tunic looks to be in good nick, was it his war time tunic or one issued for smarter dress?What's the maple leaf bar for?Tony Edited May 1, 2005 by Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Tony,Don't know much about the tunic.The bar with the maple leaf ... that was for the Canadian Volunteer Medal (seen on the medal bar at top of thread).The silver maple leaf (a maple leaf bar on the ribbon of the medal) or the Maple Leaf cluster on the ribbon bar .. was for 60 days service outside of Canada.
