WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Canadian Armoured Corps during the Second World War. The badge is constructed from metal, typically brass or white metal, and features a central image of a First World War-era tank. Above the tank, a scroll displays the word “CANADA,” with a laurel wreath encircling the design. The badge is topped by the royal crown, signifying service under the Crown. The Canadian Armoured Corps was established in 1940 and played a significant role in mechanized warfare throughout the conflict, taking part in major operations in Europe. Cap badges were worn on the front of regimental headdress and served as a visual identifier of corps affiliation. The design reflects the mechanized nature of the unit and its national identity. This badge exemplifies Canadian military insignia from the WW2 period and is collectible for its historical relevance.
