This May auction I am continuing to downsize my personal collection, with several Canadian Medal groupings including rare Gallantry Awards, badges/insignia as well as other quality Militaria listed. Feel free to ask questions and please enjoy!
Up for auction is an original Canadian War Services Holland 1944 tin in good worn condition. The tin is of metal construction, with wood grain yellow patina on exterior. The center reads "HOLLAND 1944" with "Canadian War Services" on center red shield topped by Crown on green Canadian Maple leaf . The interior of the tin is empty and unmarked, and there are some dents and signs of age on the tin- otherwise it is ready for display. This would have likely been given out at a Salvation Army Canadian club in Holland to Canadian Servicemen.
A seldom seen piece of WW2 Canadian history for your consideration.
Some History on the Canadian War Services:
The Canadian War Services was part of the Salvation Army Canadian War Services. The onset of World War II found the Army accompanying Canada’s armed forces overseas not only as chaplains but as the operators of Maple Leaf Clubs, providing rest and relaxation for the troops.
Canadian War Services
By the end of the war, there were clubs in Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland and India. They were mostly staffed by Salvation Army Auxiliaries, some of them as young as twenty years old. They provided a taste of home, with Canadian cooking, mail forwarding and social activities, including dances and short-term accommodation. On the home front at the end of the war, Salvationists at Canadian ports welcomed the ‘war brides’ of Canadian servicemen.
