WW2 Canadian Prince Edward Island Light Horse Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Prince Edward Island Light Horse Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Prince Edward Island Light Horse regiment during the Second World War. This regiment was part of the Canadian militia and later contributed to the Canadian Armoured Corps. The badge is typically crafted in brass and features a central design incorporating a horse’s head within a wreath, surmounted by a King’s Crown, which signifies service under the reign of King George VI. Beneath the central motif is a scroll bearing the unit’s name, “Prince Edward Island Light Horse.” The badge was worn on the service dress cap as a distinguishing emblem of regimental identity and pride. Cap badges such as this played a key role in unit recognition within the Canadian forces. The reverse side is fitted with lugs or a slider for attachment to headgear, consistent with manufacture during the period.
