Black Velvet (Life's Eternal War Song?) Cover me Canada when I'm gone

[harperjohnlive]

Ah, yes ….I believe this is a short-lived insignia worn by some of the NCOs in the Canadian Forces. Just my opinion, but this is one of the best designs in its class of chevron “flashes”. In terms of the song words I see it as compellingly symbolic … the young “Johnny Canuck” flying high and free like a leaf on wing, breaking all the rules, breaking through the chevron clouds …a brief glimpse of his conflicted self … and then in a “flash he was gone”

I do not recognize the rank at the beginning of the song. WHat rank is that? It has the maple leaf inside of the two chevrons.
