COTC Wants

Good day all,

Looking for the following items. One Mount Allison University Contingent COTC shoulder title, and one pair of collar badges for same. Already have the cap badge.

Anyone having either or both items, please send a PM to work out details.


Regards,

Ian

Bumping this up. Anyone? Yes? No? Maybe?

Bumping this up again.

Still looking. Anyone...….?

Asking again. Does anyone have the items mentioned in the first post?

Still on the hunt for a cloth COTC shoulder flash for the Mount Allison University Contingent, and a pair of collar badges.

Needed for a match-up to the contingent hat badge.

Going on two years and nobody has the requested badges?

Bumping this up.

No one seems to have these items at the badge shows here on the East Coast.

Please contact if you can provide either item, especially the cloth shoulder title. Thanks

Ian

Bringing this forward again. Now only looking for one cloth Mt. Allison U COTC shoulder title. I have recently acquired the collar badges.

Will pay a reasonable price....but not willing to ransom my first-born! Somebody somewhere must have one they are willing to part with?

took long enough, but you have managed to add a few of the items you were looking for. This is a good thing. I am not able to help as I have moved away from badges and now only interested in CEF medals and Irish Regiment of Canada items.

A few years ago, you sent me an email regarding my great uncle's CEF medal that I never got because I rarely used it and I just saw it a few days ago.

His name was LAROCK, Emery John, Service Number 120513. He is my namesake and I never thought I would have a chance to ever find it.

Any information you have I appreciate the share.

Thank you!

Hi Darrell

Not sure what you have on your relative but his First War Service file is available at Library & Archives Canada:

https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=517060

On that page, just click on the hypertext "Digitized service file - PDF format: B409-S018" and it will open for viewing and/or download.

A Carpenter from Vermont.

Joined in Montreal August 1915 with 69th Battalion. Next-of-kin was his Mother in Orleans Vermont. A short time in England the saw service at the front with the 19th Battalion from July 1916 to April 1917. He then returned to England as "Sick" with Trench Fever/Myalgia. Bronchitis also appears as an ailment for him. He spent a long time in hospital and returned to the 19th Battalion just as the war ended. He went back to Canada in June 1919. He was demobilized in Montreal in July 1919, proposing to live in London Ontario.

He died 24 March 1921 from Tuberculosis. It appears that he was married after the war and before his death. As Canada was just getting around to sending out the medals for the war at that time, his medals (British War medal & Victory Medal) were sent, along with a Memorial Plaque & Scroll, to Mrs Edna Larock in Woodstock Illinois. His Mother was sent a Memorial Cross (his wife not receiving one, I believe, as they married after his service) .

His death was attributable to his wartime service. He is recognized on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial with some photos of him included. Not sure why they are spelling his name Larocque there and apparently had 16 Brothers and Sisters!!: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembrance/memorials/canadian-virtual-war-memorial/detail/4010490?Emery%20John%20Larock

His Veteran's Death Card is also online but sparse for info: https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/mass-digitized-archives/veterans-death-cards-ww1/Pages/item.aspx?PageID=2784467

I hope this is of some help to you.
