There has been some debate among badge collectors whether this pattern of badge was actually issued for wear during the war. The bulk of the war time photos of soldiers show the scroll pattern collar badges being worn, but one war time photo recently surfaced showing a 185th Battalion soldier wearing the maple leaf pattern collar badges. It was taken in England.
