You put it just above the breast pocket on your left side. if you put the
pin into the pocket or along the stich it stops it from stabbing you.

When I was in, 83-96, we were made to wear it on our beret, right up against
the cap badge. If I remember correctly, that's the way CFB Gagetown wore it
as well, so I don't think it was a Unit thing.

Yeah, in my Civvies I wear it over my heart... but before I was in the Army
I used to see it on the berets of some of the cadets, and Legionaires.  So I
was kinda confused... but thanks!

If I remember correctly thats the only way I ever wore it 1950-1972
Until I got out I now wear it pinned on the left side of whatever coat I am
wearing . I have added a small pin of a Canadian Flag to the centre of the
poppy so I don‘t keep losing them

I would assume that the placement of the Poppy would be the same as in the
Army, which would mean over the left breast pocket as the helpful members
of this group informed me! - Thanks... I suppose you really can‘t go
wrong... at least you‘re showing you care by asking, and indeed wearing the
poppy, so all that will probably happen is they‘ll tell you to move it if
it‘s in the wrong place!

I think it was either Mike or Brad, about a year ago on this bb, told us
why orders were changed by the CF for the poppy to be worn on the body
of the uniform rather than on the headdress, beside the cap badge, as it
had been for generations. The simple reason is that today's members of
the CF often work in locations indoors especially where they have
their headdress berets, etc removed for most of the day and were
therefore not "wearing" the poppy most of the time.
And yes, I wish the RCLegion/ANAVETs etc would come out with a better
fastener than that straight pin. I usually lose several each year, and
it's particularly difficult to retain the poppy on the left chest when
buckled up, as driver, with a car seat belt. I usually bend/crimp the
pin, but even this doesn't stop it from falling off my coat. Ideas on a
better pin?

Back in the good old days, we always wore it to the left of the hat badge on
a beret. On a forage cap it was on the left side...which is where I still
put it on my Corps of Commissionaires forage cap.

I am very happy to see someone mention ANAVETS. I am a Past President, and
Charter Member of Unit 95, in Woodstock, NB. This is quite an honour, I
think, especially considering my relatively young age. :-  That is the
only Unit currently in NB. Before that I was a member of the Royal Canadian
Legion, which is also a very fine organization. Its just that, especially in
NB, you don't hear about ANAVETS very often.

Mac from Ian Edwards:
I've never been able to figure out the difference between the RCLegion
and the Anavets. The latter is older, I believe, but in today's terms
they both seem to have pretty much identical aims, etc. Why are there
two such organizations? I ask without any malace, scorn or hidden agenda
to my question.

I guess the easy answer would be the same reason that there is Rotary Clubs,
Masons, Jaycees, Knoights of Columbus, etc., etc., I‘m not sure how the 2
organizations developed separately, and you‘re right - the ANAVETS is
actually an older organization. I can only speak from personal experience,
but here is what happened in my community. I belonged to the Legion in my
home town, and a clique kind of took over, and got into some typical small
town political... stuff. Anyway, there were many dissatisfied members of our
local Legion branch, who wanted to support Veterans, and had nowhere to
turn. So, I saw an ad for ANAVETS, and looked into it. We were very happy
with the results. Let me be clear that I, in no way am slamming either the
Legion, that Branch, or its members. Just a different philosophy developed
amongst our membership. Both are fine organizations. More info on ANAVETS
can be found at http://www3.nbnet.nb.ca/domar/anavets.htm

As a Cadet way back when. I thought they were always
woren on the Baret, beside the cap badge.
If I remember from the past few years, I‘ve even seen
Legion members wear them on Berets, when walking around in their full dress.
Just an obseveration.

I recently heard a very plausible reason for the change of the poppy
from the headdress to the lapel.
According to a CWO I have a great deal of respect for, he told me that
veterans organizations had requested the CF place the poppy on the left
lapel to standardize the wearing of the poppy. This way CF members
could be seen wearing a poppy while indoors and not wearing their
headdress. Of course the left lapel is nearest the heart and is seen as
a sign of respect.
Personally, I‘m glad because I hate sticking myself in the noggin every
time I put on my beret.
Beret, now there‘s a piece of kit designed by a sadist. I‘m sure I will
have a pensionable claim for the hourglass shaped head I have developed.
I just looked in the closet and I have 5 different berets. Two shades
of blue, maroon and the ubiquitous green metal and cloth capbadge
types.
I understand our American friends are joining the club and going to a
Black Beret ? Welcome to the worldwide fraternity of Ringed Headed
Soldiers.
Remember, If you can‘t take a joke - you shouldn‘t have joined.

If you want to talk about silly headgear......Do you remember the fake fur
hats that were issued with the old CF greens? Only saw it worn once, by a
senior officer up in Ottawa, on a winter flip. Mine was used as a car wash
mitt, and it worked fine. Although if you wore it sideways you could do a
good Russian impersonation.

Funny you should mention berets...we suffered from "Beret Envy" when the Army
Chief of Staff took ‘em away from us in the mid 70s. We Cav types wore black
berets, and thought they looked much mo better than the dopey green baseball
caps with the seam in the middle of the crown. Of course, the SF had their
Green Beanies, and the Airborne later got maroon ones and the verdammt
Rangers got our black berets in 1980. Guess the other army‘s headgear is
always better...but while rednecks and others wear baseball caps, only
soldiers wear berets...OK, and Girl Scouts, and the French, and artistes of
indeterminate orientation,,,
