Shoulder Badge - 106th Regiment, Winnipeg Light Infantry - Canadian Field Artillery (CFA)

Shoulder Badge - 106th Battalion (sic) Regiment, Winnipeg Light Infantry - Canadian Field Artillery (CFA) The WLI / oak leaf are the shoulder titles. They are quite a departure form the voided initial patterns that were the standard in the Canadian army. The WLI were amalgamated with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles in 1955. The 106th Regiment, Winnipeg Light Infantry contributed to the 10th Battalion, CEF on its formation in September 1914, and later recruited for the 61st, 101st, 222nd and 226th Battalions, CEF. The 10th Battalion served in France and Flanders with the 2nd Infantry Brigade, 1st Canadian Division from 14 February 1915 until the Armistice. The 61st, 101st, 222nd and 226th Battalions provided reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field.
