There were no camp badges on the right arm.

The silver star w/wreath, from what I remember was silver star, plus an instructor summer course.

oh ok,
so all the badges will go on the left arm. how many courses can I pull off on my uniform?
Does the above confidiration work?
As well, how about Bisley? I have that badge. would i be able to add it? and where did it go?

 

[rwgill]

The left arm sounds good.

As for the "Bisley" badge, I am not 100% sure ???  It may go atop the left pocket, where the wings would go ???

 

[Bergeron 971]

OH, as if I forgot about the Wings, I'm running out of years I think? I would like to add wings too

Correct.  Bisley does go atop the left breast pocket.  Para would be worn above the Bisley badge.  Red leaf only on the Para badge.  The officer stripes were 1 for Lt, 2 for Capt, 3 for Major and 4 for Lt Col.  Lt Col was used at camps but did occur from time to time at units.  The fitness badge would be for a crse called pert.  Physical Education and Recreational Training.  The  was worn if you attended an exchange course.  It was worn on both arms between the affiliated unit and the RCAC badge.  Hope this info helps.

Cheers!
