WW1 Canadian CEF General List Cap Badge 3

The WW1 Canadian CEF General List Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. Intended for personnel not assigned to specific regimental units, the General List badge features the British royal crown above a beaver on a maple leaf, with the inscription “Canada” across the bottom scroll. Typically made from brass or bronze, this cap badge measures approximately 42mm by 43mm. It was affixed to the service cap using lugs or a slider on the reverse side. The badge served as a general identifier for soldiers fulfilling a variety of roles, including administrative and support duties within the CEF. Its design reflects national symbols associated with Canada at the time, such as the maple leaf and beaver. The WW1 Canadian CEF General List Cap Badge is a relevant artifact for understanding Canadian military uniforms and organizational structure during the 1914–1918 period.
