Unknown patch found in a box with Canadian parachute insignia

**teddybear** · 03-19-2020, 07:51 PM

Recently bought a box with Canadian parachute corps stuff. Inside there are two patches: "15 CITC" - that I cannot identify.
Please, if you could help me identify them - or find anything about these patches - would appreciate any help!
The pictures are attached.
Thanks in advance!

The tab is "Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry", the General Service Pin was worn on Civilian clothing to denote service.
The Canadian Para badge might be WWII and they are bringing good money, but I don't know them well.

CWAC is Canadian Women Army Corps, arm band might be CAWC Police.

Well, the Canadian Forces are not entirely within my field of knowledge and my Canadian friends here might disagree but I am going to suggest that the CITC patch actually reads "A15 CITC" and represents No A15 Canadian Infantry Training Centre which was at Camp Shilo, Manitoba during WWII and I think might still be there. As a coincidence, previous reading showed me that 2PPCLI is (or might be) still based at Camp Shilo and as a further coincidence in 1914 prior to deployment to France the PPCLI were based at Bustard Camp on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England the remains of which are about five minutes drive from my house!

I couldn't say if the patches are WWII period but I am sure others here can

I hope this helps
