The latter resulted in issue of a DND certificate, stating that I was a \"Group One Signaller\"! I went on to be an instructor at my home Corps in Parry Sound, which included teaching use and operation of the Wireless Set No. 19 and the CPR26 (26 Set), as well as landline field phones and switchboards. Clearly, the wide array of plates now in your repertoire is of great interest to those who have had military \"time in\" at any level and for any length of time.
