Default Militia Rangr Jacket

Dean, I know the jacket that you have. It was issued in Fort Churchill in the 1950s To CANADIAN RANGERS who were part of the Militia. It looked like a duck shooting jacket made of the same heavy duck material in a marsh brown colour. It was unlined and had all he pockets similar to a shooting jacket. They weren't too practical for the Rangers for winter wear due to colour & being unlined & the colour wasn't even that good for the Arctic tundra but obviously someone in Ottawa had a relative in the needle trades, need I say more????
