Jack is still noting everything that turns up..I found another one last week, 
parts 1 & 2 of a Nursery Rhymes medley (16107-D), which I've dated to November 
1930 and the 1932 English Columbia catalogue lists this and parts 3 & 4, so 
possibly that was also on Canadian Columbia 16108D.

Don't forget there was also a Patriotic Series on Canadian Victor, with similar 
repertoire ("Your King and Country Want You" etc). Also white labels with red 
and white printing and a Union Jack.
