Hugh Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hooray! Nice to see our neighbors return to the fold. Now if we could just get the Queen to grant us Commonwealth status. We could even change our spelling. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Frank - how very colourful. Rather like South Africa where different insignia and Rank existed under the Afrikaans Govt.. The first Act of the new Parliament in 1994 was to change the rank of Commandant (a traditional Boer title) to Lt. Colonel and the insignia. Mervyn Too late Hugh - the damage has been done. I used to work in Sydney for an American Advtg. Agency and our overseas corres. was always US spelling. Took me years to stop using it...........

Laurence Strong Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Except for the 3rd Division -which could be a color issue - the Division patches are consistent with Canadian tradition going back to WW1. 3rd Cdn Div has traditional had a "French Grey" patch:http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/vehicles/markings/formationsigns.htmLarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Maybe it's due to poor colour quality in the article... We'll wait and see, they've been in line with history so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
