Canadian Legion British Empire Service League Cap Bage

The Canadian Legion British Empire Service League Cap Badge is a historical insignia associated with the veterans’ organization originally named The British Empire Service League (Canadian Legion), which was founded in 1925. This cap badge typically features a maple leaf design, symbolizing Canada, with a central crown and the organization’s name incorporated into the motif. The badge was worn on the headdress of members to denote affiliation and service. Materials commonly used include brass or gilding metal, with details either die-stamped or struck. The badges were issued during the early- to mid-20th century, primarily to ex-service personnel and members involved in remembrance and veteran support activities. The cap badge serves as a significant emblem of Canadian military and veterans’ heritage, reflecting the contributions and unity of former service members within the British Empire. This item is of interest to collectors of militaria, particularly those focusing on Canadian and Commonwealth veteran organizations.
