Canadian General Service Badge

The 'G.S. Badge' was a small black disc one-inch in diameter with the letters G.S. embroidered upon it. Beginning in 1942, the badge was worn on the left forearm of battledress blouses, Service Dress and Khaki Drill jackets. Once the soldier had qualified for the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal the badge was to be removed. The badges were also worn only in Canada. The badge was placed 5-1/2 inches from the bottom of the sleeve, or else directly above any rank, service chevrons or good conduct badges
