Default When was C/Broad Arrow Introduced?
Does anybody know when the Canadian C/Broad Arrow was introduced and first appeared on equipment? I have read that this happened in 1907 per Militia Order 213 but am unable to verify this. Also, in Law’s “From Scarlet to Khaki” there is shown a combination web water bottle and entrenching tool carrier with the C/Broad Arrow marking dated 1913 (page 228) but I don’t know if 1913 denotes year of manufacture, year of contract or web equipment pattern (the piece of equipment is Pattern 1913) And are there any known examples of pre-1913 C/Broad Arrow marked equipment?
