A attractive - typical British made - C.M.S.C (Canadian Military Staff Clerk) formation badge

This is a neat example of a attractive - typical British made - C.M.S.C (Canadian Military Staff Clerk) formation badge. The role of the CMSC was to train and provide personnel for the clerical 'back office' support to the Canadian Army, principally for the General Staff, Adjutant General and Quarter-Master General Branches. The term 'clerk' was defined very broadly and included "Stenographers, Typists, General and Record clerks (with particular aptitude for compiling and analysing official material and records), Specialists on office machines, Secretaries and Court Reporters and last, but not least, Staff Orderlies, men with long service who are particularly smart and with proven integrity to guard and carry special documents, etc.". This example has some minor moth nips and is priced accordingly.
