I have just joined and posted a picture of a relative who we think might be wearing Canadian Air Force uniform in WW 2. I may have put the thread on the wrong page.
Had a look at your photo in the gallery & I have a feeling his collar badges are Veterans Guard of Canada . http://ww2f.com/media/maggiewilkinson-copy.4502/
Thank you for that lead. His name is John Frederick Danvers Geary b 1887 in uk,went to Canada as a boy. he served in British regiments in WW1 and returned to Canada in 1920. He died in Regina sask in 1963. I will research the veteran guards. Thanks again.
