Canadian pre-1914 uniforms

[servicepub]

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.

Just a 'few' of your favourites?

They're in fantastic condition.

Very nice and thank you for posting these. I always find the red uniforms to be very striking.

Clive,

Great looking uniforms.  Why don't you bring one or two to the show  this month?  I am sure they would attract lots of interest to your table.

Regards,

Gordon

More great tunics.  I especially like the Corps of Guides  tunic.  If only I had some room left in my collecting rooms!

The national museum doesn't even come close to your war room...  

[Chris Boonzaier]

Fantastic! The Corps of Guides somehow looks like German cavalry!!

[peter monahan]
