Hello,

Hello,
The top two are not Canadian the RCA is Royal Canadian Artillery, the Volts Flash is Le Voltigeurs de Quebec, Le Fusiliers St Laurent & Le Regiment De Joliette are Canadian Army Regiments based in Quebec.. By looking at the backing I would say 1950/1960's

The 'top' could be the US 10 Division 'Mountain' still exists but now is a light infantry div.

Not the modern insignia but could be from the 50s or 60s. Try posting it in the US section.

Not the US 10th Mountain but the british 52nd Lowland Division (Scottish).

Les Fusileers de St. Laurent is a regiment of Canada's Primary Reserve Force [militia], headquartered in Rimouski, Quebec. It saw service overseas in WWI [battle honour ARRAS 1917]. Home defence in 1942-44, sent to UK in January 1945 and broken up for reinforcements.

Le Regiment de Joliet saw no WWI service; did home defence in Nfld in WWII and was sent to England but disbanded in 1945. Taken off the strength of the Active Reserve force in 1964 and now on the Supplementary List - essentially disbanded, but keeping traditions and its place in the order of precedence should it ever be re-raised [unlikely].

Thanks everyone!

The Fusiliers St Laurent did not exist in World War One. The battle honor was awarded in respect to the the CEF battalion perpetuated by the Fusiliers St Laurent, the 189th. The contingents from the 189th were used as reinforcements for the front line CEF battalions. The number of men from particular battalions earned the battle honour. These were perpetuated by the militia.

Thanks for the correction - which I believe is correct. My error; trying to condense too much info. too quickly.
