Yearbook Update - 1917

Recently came across some photos of the uniform worn by Bombardier Harold Poyser of the 5th Canadian Siege Battery. The metallic 5 on the epaulette for the battery designation followed by CGA for Canadian Garrison Artillery. On the sleeve is the rectangular red patch indicating the 2nd  Brigade over the Canadian Corps Heavy Artillery (CCHA) with the Lance Bombardier chevron underneath and the three service stripes at the bottom. The lapel features the Universal Grenade despite the fact that the Canadian Artillery adopted a more stylized grenade with Canada underneath in 1907. This uniform is owned by the Bowden Pioneer Museum, Alberta. A similar one would be an excellent addition to the 15th Field Artillery Regiment Museum and Archives and all members are encouraged to contact me ASAP if they were to locate one that was available.
