Photograph of John Thompson’s RCAF uniform, ca. 1939.
This uniform was worn by Thompson when he served in the Second World War. Before the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968, the uniforms worn by members of the RCAF were like those worn by troops in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. They were distinguished by national and regional identifiers, such as badges, which were sewn onto their clothing.
