WW2 Canadian Fort Garry Horse Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Fort Garry Horse Cap Badge is a metal insignia issued to members of the Fort Garry Horse, a Canadian armoured regiment, during the Second World War. The badge features the regiment’s distinctive insignia, which typically includes a crowned scroll bearing the unit’s name and a central device such as a “running horse,” referencing the regiment’s cavalry origins. Constructed of brass or white metal, the badge was worn on the service cap or beret as a symbol of regimental identity and pride. The Fort Garry Horse served with distinction in Europe as part of the Canadian Armoured Corps. The design represents wartime cap badges issued between 1939 and 1945 and reflects the unit’s heritage within the Canadian Army. The badge includes lugs or a slider for attachment, depending on the period and manufacturer. This item is of interest to collectors of Canadian military insignia and Second World War memorabilia.
