Hello All,

Could you comfirm if this uniform is well of the Leinster ?

It seems pre war, I can't identify the brass badge, but there is a maple leaf on the cap who makes me think it is

The Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians)

Many thanks.

Pierre

Maple leaves were worn by the Leinsters!

1st - white leaf cut from dark green square, cotton...

Given the KD and Wolseley; guy looks like he's from the 10th (Irish) Division.

Best wishes,

GT.
