    1. Hello, Thanks guys for the compliments. There always is something more to collect. Right now this stuff is not very sought after so it is very cheap and fun to collect. Thanks, Cam
    2. Thats correct Micheal. It was given out to cover everything except Class A+B. Cam
    3. There are several different sized League pins. I guess it was for different forms of dress. Does anyone else collect this kind of stuff or is it just me? Cam
    4. Finallly are some of my reunion ribbons. I have serveral of these but I like these to the best. The first says it all. I am sure one or two ex CEF soldiers got a little to tipsy and needed help in finding thier way back. The second one is very nicely embriodered and is in really good condition. I also find it interesting that these reunions are going on during the height of the next great world war. I hope you all have enjoyed my pictures. Cam
    5. Next up is the two Toronto Reunion pins. There also is a hard to find ticket from the event in 1938 where it describes the activities that were to happen. It has an even "rarer" thumb smudge on the right hand side! Cam
    6. Next up are 2 welcome back cards. The first one is quite common and was given out to guys going home. This was given out upon embarkation from La Harve. The second one is from 2 small communities in my Province of Manitoba. It was given out to the guys when the got back home. Cam
    7. Here are the backs to the three Service Pins. As you can read there was a large fine or jail sentence for misuse of these pins. Cam
    8. Hello, I have an interest in post WW1 CEF veteran Items. As you can see from the the pictures below there is a wide variety of different pins and paper items that can be collected. I just want to share some of my pieces with you all. I'll start off with a some of the pins that can be found. Starting at the top and going left is the CEF Service at the front pin (Class A). The Second is the Services Rendered Pin (For wounded guys, Class B). The third is the For Honourable Service pin given out to guys who served but not at the front (ie. to old so kept back in England. Class C). In the bottom row, there is the Great War Veterans Pin, the British Empire Service League Pin, the 1934 Toronto CEF reunion pin, the 1938 Toronto Reunion Pin and the final one I believe to be a private purchace 2nd Can Div Pin that would have been worn after the war. Enjoy, Cam
    9. Thanks Guys for the information. That solves the question. Thanks Again, Cam
    10. Hello Guys, Thanks for the replys. I think that something got lost in translation. He was with the Royal Engineers, not the Royal Canadian Engineers. He was attached to the 1st Can Div as part of the beach group. He was not a Canadian. He served in England for a year after enlistment doing training and other such stuff before he went to Sicily. Does this help change the entitlements? Thanks, Cam
    11. Hello, I have my Grandfathers medals from WW2. He was a Sapper in the Royal Engineers. He joined in 1942, landed with the 1st Can Div on Pachino as part of the 3rd Beach Group and was later wounded at Salerno in 1943. He was discharged in 1944 for being medically unfit from loosing part of his leg. As for medals he has the 1939-45 Star, the Italy Star and the War medal. He does not have the Defence Medal and has no recolection of having be given it or loosing it along the way. He was not conscripted but he did all of his training in England and there for should have it. I am just wondering if there were any reasons as to why he was not awarded this medal. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Cam
    12. Hello, Very nice piece you have there. It reminds me alot of the British Sinder Enfield Rifles, because of the breech. What caliber was this rifle. Thanks, Cam
    13. Hello, I paid in Cdn money so it was not the same as Euro's. I paid about 30 Euros for it. Thanks for all of the help. Cam
    14. Hello Kevin, Thanks for the reply and the kind words. I know this isn't the right forum but I don't want to go through and repost everything again. I picked this up at a rummage sale for alot less than I would imagine it being. How much would the set approximatly be since it was issued to a German and not a Romainian. Thanks, Cam
    15. Hello, Here is my medal bar with this medal. It also has the sword facing out and it has P.Grant under the Female Head. The flash makes the ribbons and the backing look a little to bright and new. What do you think of it? The loop attachment looks kind of poorly made, like the one from ebay. Cam
