Hi Lorne, That tunic was discussed somewhere earlier, maybe on a Facebook page? It may be an authentic tunic but the 7/11th had been officially disbanded in January of 1943. The HQ Sqn 5 CAB was supposed to wear the corps title, Canadian Armoured Corps and the plain 5 CAD patch, and the brigade bar. As shown above, except the 7/11th title would be the Canadian Armoured Corps. To complicate the situation even further the 7/11th title was contracted in printed pattern, even though the regiment had been disbanded, and there were no original members of the 7/11th on the establishment of the HQ Sqn.
