Reserve Forces Day June 30 Newcastle NSW OZ

[Colin Foulkes]

A few locals put on a small display at the Ceremony here in Newcastle.
Hopefully some pics attached.
First a bit of info.
This a Commonwealth Forces Day, so has international flavour, hence the Maple Leaf Flag.

You have seen Barry & Peter's Trucks before.

We had a contingent from Toronto Canada on Parade. They liked the C15A.
Seemed fairly normal blokes with a fag and a Tooheys New each.

...but, but, but... they're not in battledress!

This wasn't a battle, it was a remembrance service a beer and a gabfest.
The emblem on the right tunic pocket interested me, a Maple leaf on crossed swords. I am not well up on Canadian uniform code etc.

Col,

I was referring to proper WW2 Canadian Battledress such as I now wear the odd time I'm still on parade, not the current paint-by-numbers suit! Do you by chance remember their regiment(s)? I can't see their shoulder titles in your photo...
