WW2 Canadian Fort Garry Horse Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Fort Garry Horse Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Fort Garry Horse, an armoured regiment of the Canadian Army. This badge, produced during the Second World War, typically features a central depiction of a horse’s head set within a wreath, surmounted by a crown, with scrolls bearing the unit’s name. Constructed from brass or white metal, the cap badge was worn on the service dress cap as part of standard uniform regulations. The Fort Garry Horse played a significant role in armoured operations as part of the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade, participating in key engagements in Northwest Europe from the D-Day landings onwards. The design and construction of the cap badge reflect the heraldic traditions of the regiment and the period of its use. This item serves as a representation of regimental identity and Canadian military history during the Second World War.
