A Few small finds today at WW2 camp site

a couple of small bits today - I do like getting these badges

and no doubt that the Canadians were based here then

Can anyone tell me anything about the 2 badges - what era, how/where worn? They were found buried under a pile of white crockery which unfortunately is smashed into many pieces and none that I have seen so far is marked or dated.

thanks all

Matt

Those are the basic shoulder titles for sure.

Thanks for the id guys

. Just looked them up and again, are WW1 vintage from what I can gather. Not a great quantity from this site but some nice bits I think

No doubt about it, Canadian ORs shoulder titles from WW1.

Here are some similar ones (mine are the cutout version but the same) on a jacket:

not much to show for a few hours expect this spoon (and more .303 training rounds). It has the Broad Arrow, which is nice, and I was momentarily excited

as it was hallmarked so thought it was silver. Excitment was shortlived

as I now think it is silver plated as they also "hallmarked" their stuff. The give away was when I was trying to work out the top hallmark which was "_ _ NS" - and realised this was in all likelihood EPNS, as in Electo-plated Nickle Silver - bugger - wasn't born with a silver spoon and didn't find one either - story of my life ! Trying to date it now to see if WW1 era, but struggling with the research - any EPNS experts out there?
