Canadian Cap Badges

[PPS]

In connection with Glen's thread, and so as not to take away from it, I am posting this site on a new thread.

http://community.webshots.com/user/RunChickenRun

There are a number of albums of cap badges, collar dogs, and shoulder titles and all seem to be Canadian.

There is also a Family History Album, maybe someone knows of this family.

On the contrary Paul, Glen should be most interested in the site you posted as it contains the very collar dog he's looking for.
Described as; Royal Canadian Armoured Corps; Officers.
Interesting site, I did not go through every page however, everything I saw there was indeed Canadian. I found the School/University Cap Badges very interesting as I had never seen any of them before.
Thanx.

Cheers

PS, PPS, the "Run Chicken Run" in that site address refers(not lovingly), to the Royal Canadian Regiment, one of only three Regular Force Infantry Regiments.

The nickname for the Royal Canadian Regiment I have seen before somewhere, more than likely on a thread on MLU.

I posted on a seperate thread not only to keep Glen's "on-topic" (if that is possible ), but also because I thought it may be of interest to others.

I have been through quite a few of the pages, and there has been a lot of work put into them.

To the Engineers, they were known as the "Rubber Chicken Regiment", a sobriquet which derived from the joke (no disrespect meant here, I'm repeating what I heard):

Q: Why do the RCRs gun tape their chickens?

A: So they don't explode when they @#$% them!

Hi Wayne

Hmmm, most odd as I have pics of Canadian Armoured Corps NCO's wearing the silvered version as well as owning the cap and collars to a CAC Officer (they're silver too).

I hadn't seen those bronze coloured ones before.
