Hi Eric, my knowledge about Canadian items is limited. But a lanyard would not be fastened to a belt.

The lanyard would be looped around the shoulder and one end either placed in the pocket or fastened to the pocket button.

Cheers, Ade.

Here's a good link to Canadian lanyards:

Left shoulder and tucked into the pocket.

Officers and NCOs should have a whistle, OR and pvts it was clipped into the button hole.

They still wear it.

On active service during WW2 it was quite common when wearing a revolver to loop the lanyard around the back of the belt rather than around the shoulder.

Hi John, was that just done more with a plain khaki lanyard? Never heard of it done with a fancy coloured one before.

Cheers, Ade.

Same with the engineers with the jacknife lanyard, total pain and will snag
just about everything it can when on the shoulder.

Purely on a practical level it was better off not worn, chuck the pistol it was practically worthless and marked you as an officer.

O,R uniform jacket , badges off and carry a rifle , the lads know who you are anyway.

Ade,mostly they were Khaki but once I had as nice maroon one don't know which regiment but I liked the colour.
Tim a rifle was a bit of a nuisance in an armoured car.
