Default Re: WWI medals/WWII wings

Yes, both medals are edge-stamped 'M2-102075 Pte.J.A.McIlroy A.S.C.' (Army Service Corps?) Could this mean he served in The British Army in WWI & emigrated to Canada post 1918? I think there's a heraldry shop on Yonge St.in Toronto so I should be able to replace the missing/incorrect ribbons in any case.

As for the RAF shoulder wings, could these be worn on an RCAF tunic with the 'CANADA' title as a separate patch above them? The reason I ask is there is an 'RCAF' breast-pocket wing included in this collection and I wondered if they could be related, so to speak. I hope I haven't muddied the water here, I have no reason to believe there is any connection between the WW1 awards & the WWII awards/wings.

My thanks to everyone for their insights, I've learned a lot!

Cheers, Dave
