The CANFORGEN says " The wearing of medals while in civilian court proceedings is not permitted, any CAF member proceeding in uniform will wear DEU 3, namely Tunic and ribbons...."

The Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS ) French: Corps des transmissions royal du Canada, (CTRC)

I am just putting this here because I don't know if it is worthy of its own thread (mods if it is do your thing). So DND released a video to explain Veterans' week to young children and it is interesting. Watching the video I can understand why they choose Vimy Ridge but of all the events that...

When the switch from King George VI to Queen Elizabeth II happened in 1952 the PPCLI's cap badge did not change till 1956, so as you said not right away.

It is called the SAT (Small Arms Trainer).

Unfortunately LETE was closed down, I think the mid-1990s. We have CATEU (Canadian Army Trials and Evaluation Unit) now but I don't know if they have the same capabilities as LETE (I am not knowledgable on LETE). But I agree it should not be given to DRDC, they are best used for future...
