I'll call a chum at DCRA... he's a million years old and cut his teeth on long bows... bitched and moaned when the Brown Bess superceeded the matchlock!!

Thanks awfully, me ol' trout! Do get on to that would you? Chop-chop, there's a good lad...

BTW, I believe Clive is referring to the Canadian Active Service Force, comprised of course of all regiments and units activated for war service in WW2 (the 'Special Force' was Korea only).

Of course, it's a moot point; I think this pin is much older, and your suggestion seems to make sense.
