1 CACR Shoulder flash wanted

Hi All. I am looking for a repro shoulder flash to add to a shadow box I am building of the 1 CACR. I have a nice orignal photo of a Kangaroo in Germany (albeit one of the British Forces), colour formation signs, and a repro cap badge. I would also like to add a shoulder flash to add to the look. If anyone knows where I can find one I would be very grateful.

I can give you one

Hey Sean, it has been awhile! Email me or PM next week as a reminder and I can send you a repro flash. No charge, but I might want to pick your brain about a few things!? (wouldn't hurt to send me your address again too... my tiny office is looking like an explosion at the archives and it can be a chore finding the smallest thing lately, Santa needs to bring me an assistant!)

Merry Christmas.

Bill.

The battlefield success of the squadron of ‘Kangaroos’ saw an expanded regiment being formed in October 1944. The 1st Canadian Armoured Carrier Regiment served in the 79th (British) Armoured Division, 2nd (British) Army, 21st Army Group for the duration of the war being disbanded in Germany May 11th 1945.
