CANADA & THE CANADIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE (CEF)
LE CANADA ET LE CORPS EXPÉDITIONNAIRE CANADIEN (CEC)
Canada General Service Badge (WW I)
Collar Badge - Canada General Service Badge (WW I). It has the maple leaf with CANADA across bottom and a large King's crown in centre.
These badges were used by the CEF in WW I during training and as transitional badges for troops awaiting assignment to specific battalions. Now, after 100 years they are becoming rare since they were not really treasured by collectors due to their relative abundance.
