WW1 Canadian CEF 151st Battalion Cap Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF 151st Battalion Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the 151st (Central Alberta) Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. Authorized in late 1915, the battalion was recruited primarily from central Alberta and was mobilized at Camp Sarcee before embarking for England in 1916. The badge typically features a maple leaf design, the symbol of Canadian military service, with the battalion number “151” prominently displayed at the center. The monogram “CEF” signifying the Canadian Expeditionary Force is usually incorporated, along with a scroll bearing the battalion’s title. Constructed from browning copper or brass, the reverse commonly includes lug or slider attachments for placement on a service cap. The badge represents a specific unit’s contribution to Canada’s military efforts during the Great War and is a collectible artifact for those interested in Canadian military history and uniform accoutrements.
