Canadian Memorial Cross

[LES Y]

Hi guys,

Cn anyone confirm if the cross in the photo could have been issued during WW2, it is marked on the rear to a squadren leader killed on 7/7/1940.
I always thought a cross with this front motif was issued for persons killed in WW1 and the ones with the seperate G and R were WW2. The rear of the cross has a maker mark of WW2 produced crosses.

Sorry about the quality of the photo its all I have at the moment.

Looks good to me. Let's see the engraving of the name.

It's right as rain as they say. First style of Memorial Cross was used at the beginning of the war. Rotten luck to die as a result of friendly fire.
