Hi Derek

Very helpful, I did suspect that the Canadians did not have a UXB Badge as it is a way battle honour, in all the photographs I have of my grandfather he is not wearing a trade badge of any kind, but from his papers he is defiantly a driver mechanic and ran a Garage in Cean during 44/45.

The reason I ask is I am mucking in with some RE reenactors and they suggested I should get the badge.

I know the British were more in to badges on BD then the Canadian Forces, and as the RE Bomb badge is a battle honour and not a trade badge I was sure it was specific to the British force only.

There is a WWII UXB trade Badge but this is only worn by the Home guard as far as I can tell.
