5th Canadian Artillery Regiment

[briant]

Hi All,

Among my late mothers possecions was this brouch,It appears to be a badge pinned onto a horseshoe,
There is hallmarks on the shoe,but they are to small to read,

I have been all over the web looking for the badge,but all i can find is the "normal" artillery badges,

Anybody any ideas?

Regards Briant

With the horseshoe, and the hallmarks, I would say that it was a sweetheart brooch, given to a loved one by someone who served in the regiment. Can you see the join between the horseshoe and the badge? Does it look professional?

As for the regiment - try googling "5th regiment canadian artillery" in that combination

Hi kyt,

Yes i tend to agree with you and it is a very professional job and an unusual badge,

I know mother was in the ATS,first at Leicester,then at the ammo dump at Longton,nr Carlisle,

Thanks for your input

Regards Briant
