Most likely the badge was made during the war. The Postal organization got its start as a military unit, and operated as such, with efficiency and pride of service. ("Nor rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail, will stop us from our appointed rounds.") Established 3 May 1911 as The Canadian Postal Corps, they were disbanded some time after the unification of The Canadian Forces in 1968. Queen Elizabeth added the prestigious "Royal" designation to their name in 1961, but less than a decade later, thanks to the socialist leanings of the anti- English Liberals and Trudeau I, as well as disruptive communist leaning unions, the postal service lost its military nature, and became the questionable, expensive, and inefficient organization it is today, eventually being privatized to a great degree, again by Liberals, until it was unrecognizable when compared to the prestigious corps that it was originally. Interestingly it also got a lot more expensive too. Remember the 5 cent stamps of the '60's. It now costs a staggering $1.05 to mail letter. If we compare car prices from that time; under the same inflationary results, a $4000 regular Chevy car in 1965 would cost 20 times more or over $80,000 today. More than twice what they are currently worth... NOW DON'T GO "POSTAL" OVER THIS!
