SKILL AT ARMS

by Thomas J. Bennett




A History of Canadian Army Trades and Parachute Badges. A book that contains a job description for every trade in the Canadian Army since before the First World War. The vast majority of trades described are long obsolete, examples of these being Carriage and Wagon Repairer, Checker Number Taker, Chemical Technician, Paperhanger, Panel Beater, Watchmaker, Despatch Rider, Photogrammetrist and hundreds of others. For each job, a photo of their trade badge is shown if one existed, but not all trades had badges. This labour of love is now extremely rare.
