Ian B Posted August 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2021 Good day all. Joined to have a source of info on US badges. Served in the Canadian Army for 27 years, Infantry. Retired 2005. Been collecting since 1970. Collect mainly Canadian Infantry hat badges and Army formation patches. Also, Canadian and World Airborne para qualifications (hence, joining to have an extra source of info on US para quals)(and possibly seeing if some items for my collection are for sale). As I mentioned in the sign up page, living the dream, every day an adventure, every meal a feast! Stay safe, have fun. Ian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks for the words of welcome gents. I can try to help with questions on Canadian badges, however, I'm no expert on uniforms per se. Gave up uniform collecting 40 years ago. I'll give it my best shot though, so fire away. Also, I'll be posting my US airborne quals in the wings section, so feel free to check them out and give me your comments. Thanks. Regards, ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
