Brass Badge "V.C.", circa WW I. It was traded to the 15 Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) Museum in Vancouver, BC. These are from the effects of 791153 Robert Holmes Gillespie. He served in the 6th Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles for 5 years before the war and then enlisted in the 131st Battalion, CEF and then fought with the 29th Battalion, CEF. He later transferred to the Royal Flying Corps (Royal Air Force). It looks like he officially discharged from the CEF to join the RFC. It does not appear that he ever served in Imperial Seaforth Highlanders, the 72nd Regiment Seaforth Highlanders of Canada or the 72nd Battalion, CEF. His CEF Service file is attached. It stops when he joined the RFC. He became missing and later confirmed killed in action while with the Royal Flying Corps on 7 August, 1918 while a 2Lt with 15 Squadron. He is buried in Grave A.15 Fienvillers British Cemetery, France.
