Civil Defence Canada

[derk derin]

It had this wallet card stuck in between the pages but has the American style CD crest so not sure if it originally came with the booklet;



Here is where the change takes place.Not only is the crest the different style but a U.S. Gov't Property marked helmet is used;


The new style crests are on these armbands.I would think that there were armbands made for all the groups of the civil defence organization;


These armbands are made from surplus headbands for the No. 38 radio set earpiece,notice the sweetheart pin attached to one of the armbands;




There was a first aid kit for the civil defence.I first found an empty bag then was given a fairly complete bag and one day at the flea market I came accross a full bag with everything in it,including the checklist of contents;

Some other manuals I have date into the 1960's like this one/1961;

These two dated 1962;


This one is dated 1965;


If anybody else collects Civil Defence items and wants me to photograph the contents of the First aid kit let me know and I will post it.Thanks for any help.
Derk.

I'm currently putting together a civil defence collection to be used in a museum. Are you willing to part with anything or do you know of anyone-else that has CD items? I'm currently working on renovating a Bomb Shelter in Edmonton

You can Email me at fred.a@civildefencemuseum.ca
Cheers.

Crown assets seem to be selling 5 lots, total over 1000 (yes, thousand+) out of National Capital Region at present. I haven't checked other regions. Photo from the listing is attached, looks similar to the one shown several posts above.
