What's New!

Welcome to the first Vimy Militaria update of 2025! This list includes a significant amount of Canadian First World War and Second World War groups and singles, as well as a wide variety of British medals, including some to scarcer units. I encourage you to contact me directly with your wants, as I am happy to keep these on file and to contact you if something in your area of interest arrives; my active servicing of client want lists results in a large quantity of incoming material never making it to the website, and is the reason that my updates are less frequent, so if you have not sent me your wants, please consider taking advantage of this service.

Please keep visiting regularly!

Best wishes,

He joined the 53rd Battery Royal Canadian Artillery at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 12 May 1936, and was assigned service number 644. He was still serving with the battery at the outbreak of the Second World War, and joined the Canadian Active Service Force on 1 September 1939. His service included time with 'Q' Battery (later absorbed into 103rd Battery) RCA in Newfoundland from 30 April 1941 to 7 April 1943, before deployment to the United Kingdom. He served in the UK with 5th Anti-Tank Regiment, RCA, before deploying to Italy as a reinforcement in February 1944, where he served with 4th Anti-Tank Regiment RCA. He was redeployed with his unit to France in February 1945, serving there until April, before returning to the UK for training, and ending the war there. Cormier was married in England, to Caroline Pates Irvine, in September 1945, and stayed in England after the war. His obituary notes that he served in the London Fire Brigade, and despite briefly returning to Canada in 1969 to work at Eatons in Toronto, he returned to the UK, working for the BBC and later being self-employed before retiring and returning to Canada in 1998. James Cormier died on 20 November 2010. Group is accompanied by an electronic copy of Cormier's service file, as well as some associated research. Medals are court-mounted on clean modern ribbon, and have apparently been removed from a frame. They are accompanied by four photographs of the recipient, and a name plate indicating his service number was F.16218. An unusual combination of awards to a Canadian Army veteran of the Second World War.
