WW1 Canadian CEF 125th Battalion Collars Insignia Pair

The WW1 Canadian CEF 125th Battalion Collars Insignia Pair consists of two collar badges issued to members of the 125th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. Each insignia is typically made from brass and features the battalion’s distinctive emblem, which commonly includes the number “125” and associated regimental motifs. These badges were worn on the collar of the soldier’s service dress uniform to denote battalion affiliation. The 125th Battalion was authorized in late 1915 and drew its recruits primarily from Brant County, Ontario. Collar insignia such as this pair were an integral component of CEF uniforms, serving both practical and organizational purposes for identification within the military structure. The reverse of each badge usually features original attachment lugs or pins, consistent with the period’s manufacturing methods. This set provides a representative example of Canadian military insignia produced and used during World War I.
