MISS CANADA’S FLAPJACK

DEMAND FOR REGIMENTAL CRESTS. Special arrangements have been made to allow Canadians on service in Britain to send home to their wives and sweethearts silverware bearing the insignia of their regiments. Most of these souvenirs are enamel and silver cigarette cases and flapjacks, or powder cases, carrying regimental crests, with the unit’s colours running across diagonally. The authorities have helped by waiving for these gifts the usual requirements of an export licence and exchange control forms. The London silversmiths who make the souvenirs have done similar work for many years past, long Before the present war, and specially make the badges for all the principal Canadian regiments. Among the crests are those of the Royal Regiment of Canada Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, Toronto Scottish, Essex Scottish, Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadian), Calgary The Royal Canadian Regiment, Saskatoon Light Infantry (M.G.), Carleton and Yorke Regiment, West Nova Scotia Regiment, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicles Training Centre, Fusiliers de Mont Royal, Le Regiment de Maisonneuve, Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders- of Canada, . 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards.
