Unknown insignia

Possibly an early Canadian Corps of Commissionaires shoulder title. Asking here might get you a definitive answer: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/index.php

Is the first letter a C or a G?

I can't open the image, but there was a discussion of,

WW1 Australian Guard Concentration Camp Badge
http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37373
 
Actually Michael, the first letter is a "G", not a third "C".

I believe (but I could be wrong, as its been a long time since I visited the Coast Guard station in Quebec city, where they had a display case) that this is a French version of the WWII shoulder badges that the Canadian Coast Guard officers doing port inspection duties wore on their battle dress. GCC stands for "Garde Cotière Canadianenne".
 
Thanks for the help everyone.

It appears that it is Australian.

Hi Larry

Just wondering about some history on the object? You know, "the five W's" on your request.
Might be interesting to some.
