Bill, they are printed canvas and are black with gold print. There's no indication anything was cut off. I recall wartime pictures of the Camerons of Ottawa without Canada's, but that could be my fading memory.

Hi Bruce, The Camerons of Ottawa went through several designation changes during the war. They were mobilized as an MG battalion, ( thus the title with MG) then they were re-designated a support bn, (no MG on the titles) and then back to an MG unit. There are two patterns of printed title, the one with MG and the one without. I would not try to date the tunic with the actual type of title on it for the same reasons as above. The wartime titles never had Canada on them. Either MG or no MG and both were supposed to wear the worsted Canada.
