WW2 Royal Canadian Engineers RCE Cap Badge

The WW2 Royal Canadian Engineers (RCE) Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Royal Canadian Engineers during the Second World War. This cap badge features the traditional symbols associated with the Corps, including a beaver over a ribbon scroll inscribed with “Ubique,” the Royal Cypher of King George VI, and a laurel wreath framing the central elements. The badge is typically constructed from brass or bi-metal, with a design reflecting the British Commonwealth military insignia style of the era. The Royal Canadian Engineers were responsible for a range of military engineering tasks, including the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, demolition, and general support to operational forces. Issued between 1939 and 1945, the WW2 RCE Cap Badge served both as an item of identification and a symbol of regimental pride for engineers serving in Canadian military units. This artifact is representative of Canadian military headgear from the Second World War period.
