[CampX]

OK, I said I would never post here again after a post I made and took it the wrong , sorry, no excuse a an ex Service Member I have my own problems that I should not take onto the forum...Very Sorry!!!!

If you will put all aside, I have found a great WW1 group

This is what I have in my collection now

[Gunny Hartmann]

I'm glad you came back mate, i think it should be Gor Blimey!..

[douglas2496]

Gor and Cor are both correct, I understand. I'm not very knowledgeable on WW1 uniform but these look to me like exceptional and rare pieces.

[CampX]

Cor to my knowledge is incorrect..the term Cor in is 1920s

Just my thoughts

The Gor Blimey you have is an exceptionally rare uniquely Canadian pattern one. Many were modified later by having the ear flaps trimmed off and converted to standard SD caps and used to death. I have one in my collection like this that is without ears. They seem to have stayed in Canada an d not made it over seas but there may have been some with drafts in the UK but probably not in the French theatre. Nice find.

Very nice.

Can you make-out where the jacket was made??? I've never seen a label like that and in that location.

Sadly Joe won't see this reply, but I've just run across this thread and I recognise that label as The Limerick Clothing Company, so an Irish supplier.
