I picked up this handbook and the inspectors badge. I bought this so that I could put the information
on the site for all to use. If any one is interested in the actual book and pin contact me (email) and you can have
them for my cost. The Pin on Badge I suspect is very rare - (I would likely loose it !) The personal were
civilian hence no military type insignia. The hand book has suffered some damage and I have done the best
I can to bring out the details, perhaps some one else can get a bit more out of it.
The Imperial Munitions Board, established November 1915 in Canada by the British Ministry of Munitions, with Canadian government approval. Headed by J.W. Flavelle, a prominent Toronto businessman, the board was responsible for letting contracts on behalf of the British government for the construction of war materials in Canada. It began to establish "national factories," which it owned outright, to produce munitions that private manufacturers were unable to turn out. Under IMB direction Canada produced a wide variety of war materiel including shells, ships, explosives and training planes. The IMB was dissolved in 1919.
