Hat

imo This is KOREA ERA not WW11 judging by the chin strap for one. For a field officer major and above staff or general officer

The "Canada General Service" buttons date 1946-1952.


What rank?
The plain gold embroidery on the peak was worn by Field officers below the rank of substantive colonel.

Thank you Brent and Paul for sharing your knowledge and information. I had a feeling it might be post WW2 and you guys confirmed it. All the best.

I agree with the dating and so on but not sure about the 'staff' ID. I think the red band was worn by all branches of the Cdn Army in this period. The caps are certainly common over here and come with a variety of badges, including the general issue one and various corps and regiments.

My two cents worth!
