- Description
- Brass statuette trophy depicting a man wearing a military uniform saluting with his right arm. He is standing on top of a gold base, which features a chain-like pattern on the edges. Below this, a yellow/green tortoiseshell-eque tube of plastic (in the style of reeded glass) rises up from the base; it is approximately the same height as the man himself. The plastic tube is situated on a bezeled block of wood in two tones, one a deep brown colour, the other a light yellow. A small, brass coloured metal plate at the base of statue reads “Presented To / 2351/ Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps / Banff Alberta / By The / Alberta United Services Institute / Calgary Alberta / For Being The Best Army Cadet Corps / In Southern Alberta / 1959”. The plate is held in place by four metal rivets, one in each corner.
