WW2 Canadian Calgary Highlanders Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Calgary Highlanders Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the Calgary Highlanders regiment during the Second World War. This brass badge features distinct regimental symbols, including a maple leaf and St. Andrew’s cross behind a stag’s head, with the unit name displayed on a scroll at the base. The design reflects the Highland Scottish heritage of the regiment and its connection to Canadian military history. Worn on the tam o’ shanter or forage cap, this badge served as a form of identification and regimental pride among soldiers. The reverse typically includes fastening lugs or a slider for attachment to headwear. The Calgary Highlanders formed part of the Canadian Army’s infantry, participating in operations in Northwest Europe from 1944 to 1945. This cap badge represents the unit’s service and the broader organization of the Canadian military during the conflict.
