servicepub Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Although I am mostly a headdress collector a couple of years ago I found myself leaning towards pre-1914 uniforms of the Canadian Militia. Here are a few of my favourites in the collection. First up, a Corporal of the 15th (Alberta) Light Horse, ca. 1907 15th (Alberta) Light Horse bandsman. 19th Light Horse officer's tunic 95th Rifles officer's tunic Canadian Engineer's Pattern 1896 frock. Governor-General's Foot Guards Pattern 1896 frock with buttons in pairs (a la Coldstream Guards, the Allied Regiment). Ca. 1903 Pattern 1896 frock for Infantry. 5th Royal Highlanders of Canada doublet for Other Ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
