Default Badge "Maple Leaf"

By prospecting a former battlefield in the neighborhood , some nice things came back to the surface , among them , some 0.303 rounds , 9 mm cartridges , 2 inch mortar relics , tails & finns , and a uniform badge ( I think) , showing 2 maple leaves attached together ,
I s this a military badge or not ?

Default Badge is a Pin

This is not a military issue badge but a civilian pin of some type. The fastening method on the back is the clue that it is not military issue.

Default Badge "Maple Leaf"

Salut Mike,
Comment ça va ?
Il y-à déjà quelque temps depuis notre rencontre en Normandie.
Tu n'est par hasard pas en Belgique , le week-end de Paques cette année , parce-que c'est notre association , www.1stbelgianfieldbattery.be , qui fait l'organisation d'un week-end d'artillerie
Les membres du Garrison viennent , comme un détachement de la Tsechie ,
Ca ferais BOUM dans les environs d'Anvers,
Location , une anciènne forteresse ; fort de Liezele
Soyez bienvenue Major !!!
