Just found this out would anyone think that this could be a Canadian jacket from my photo of Charles Staveley 1917 photo on page 1
Service Dress
(British Pattern)
In the field in France, the CEF found that Canadian pattern jackets (especially those heavily tailored as mentioned above) were too tightly fitting to be as useful for field service as the Canadian jacket.  Eventually, the CEF began to issue jacket of British pattern.   In addition to the differing features outlined below, the British jacket had "rifle patches" on the shoulders (an extra layer of wool which resisted the wearing out of the shoulders due to field chafing from the field equipment).
