   Thank you Glen and Andrew for all the help in trying to identify what the   
   initials stand for.  Indeed it is to do with family history, though not my   
   own.  It was a query to the NS Rootsweb board.  Found on a gravestone as: <   
   Bombadier  RCCA  CEF > under his name.  When non-military types tried to   
   answer, I thought I'd ask here.  I will ask if the one 'C' could possibly be   
   a 'G'.  Seems the most plausible, as long as the unit was around during WWl.   
   Will let you know if we find out for certain.   
      
   Thanks again,   
   Toni
