Masbadges No. 8: The Canadian Maple Bar - A Humorous Look at Regimental Mascots and Badges from World War I This charming print, titled "Masbadges No. 8: The Canadian Maple Bar," showcases the regimental mascots and badges of various units during the First World War. The focus of this particular image is the Canadian Maple Bar, representing the Canadian Contingent of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC). The RFC was a vital component of the British military during WWI, and the Canadian contingent played a significant role in its success. This print adds a touch of humor to the historical record by personifying the Canadian Maple Bar as a mascot. The maple leaf, a symbol of Canada's national identity, is cleverly transformed into a bird, complete with a pilot's helmet and goggles. The background of the print features an array of other regimental mascots and badges, showcasing the diverse range of animal and symbolic representations used by various colonial regiments in the British Army during the Great War. From lions and tigers to elephants and goats, these emblems served as a source of pride and unity for the soldiers who carried them into battle. This print, dated 1918, offers a unique glimpse into the history of military regiments and their distinctive insignia. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and tradition that continues to shape the military forces of Canada and other Commonwealth countries today.
