I saw this tunic when it was up for sale , would it be a Battalion indicator or possibly a Stug Battalion?

Should the center of the lower arm br buff as well the area inside the piped rea. He also has a Good Conduct Stipe.

Woud be bice to see the stripes on pants as well. I amnot arguing it is not hussars , just trying to eliminate anything else.

Mark

Check SOE/OSS opertion's .I can not find anything where i normally look sorry.

Nice PC's and sketches.

love how they were to get all that stuff neatlyback into the barrack box.

These belts are harder to find as alot of th rarer badges and buttons were removed and the belts were discarded . I have a geramn belt that was a Hate belt , but contains no buttons or badges ,so it s used as my original belt for diaplay. The museum has 2 Canadian belts both are what look like Stable belts , but i think they are just waist belts , one is more refined and has just buttons ,the other is a little more jumbled and has every type of allied badge on it .I was told by an old Red Stripe Club member friend that these were usually collected by younger men and the gotta prove i was ther guys. They make for interesting looks into history.

Nice find,

mark

Might be wrong ,but thought they were 9th brigade .

The side buttons are Arttilery either RHA or FA . Amy be the private purchase or NCOS cap would make sense .I think it is post war .The Canadians wore similar caps into the 1930's when the SD cap or bereets took there place. Is the RHA badge not smaller ten the regular RA badge ?

Thye were adopted after training in the US and were changed after arriving in England ,From the Veterans I knew they were not amused with the name.

Here is a pic off the NA of Canada

SJT Stahlt C company

Nice to see you here Clive,

There is only the Regimental Silk , no kings color . So how many units would parade like this.There was a copy of the 08 pouches and combined the leather and webb. I was wondering if it was the PPCLI as they were granted there regimental flag to a color as they carried it through the war 14-18 .I am not positive on that , would it be a Yeomanry unit?

Nice collection

The Toronto Reunion has it's own set of stugg .I have a few items i have turned over to a collector of my unit memorabilia. They had bereats colored to there Divison ,as well as Arm Bands . Alot of the enameled badges you may see were for the reunion.

If you ever get to To there is a memoriel park nrxt to HMCS York ( lakefront) .At the base of each tree there is a brass plack to each battalion in the CEF ,organised by brigade . The Biggest tree was dedicated to George the Vth and other nenbers of the Allied Armies.

The one badge looks like the Canadian Corps Association . The 2nc Divisional pin was usually a association item , I know they were more popular in WW2.

Nice collection

I have several wartime helmets that are more a darker color .They are 2 tankers and a MkIII Infantry ,I was noticing the lack of the upper mounting screws. The tanker shells came in three variants similar inshape , the last has the same pop the dot pin as the MkIV infantry helmet.

I have seen a Canadian made 195 version of these Para helmets.

mark

Nice grouping , and the stories you should put to paper. I to have a couple uncles stuff wish i could get thier records .

Mark

Stuart it is the east kents then? It is Brittish? The Canadian Corps of Signals also used similar color , but am unsure of use on trimmed in that fashion.

Nice piece

The buffs one had the patch pinned on .

Mark

Buetiful Shimmer . When would that be worn? Just asking am learning WW2 gear from Imperial collecting.

Thanks

Mark

Here is Neil Peter Christianson ,it was taken towards the 1870's .He was Sweddish but emigrated to England.

help identifying would be apreciated

Thanks im advance

I have seen the Pics and they did a buetiful job.This was a war trophy brought back to Canada .The color may have been done from original found on the vehicle as it did have zimmerit left on it. It did run into the 1950's so is a possible runner .That is not the policy of that particular museum though. Still it is now inside and looks Buetiful.
