Description

A really nice and very rare Canadian Officers Grouping from Ontario, Canada to:

Captain Lyman C Lauchland MD

Canadian Army Medical Corps, he served in various units in France in World War One.

The Sword a British Pattern 1897 Officer’s Sword which  and scabbard is in fairly good condition for its age, nicely maker marked for JR Gaunt & Son, London Birmingham. The proper unit badge for the Canadian Medical Corps can be seen on the etching along with the correct period British Monarchs Coat of Arms. I was unable to find another one online in the same configuration.

There is great information in a book format here on the unit and it seems they were in the area of Ypres, Belgium. Note the Menin Gate at Ypres everyday a small ceremony is held at the gate. See below.
