Canadian 11th Hussars Cap Badge

The Canadian 11th Hussars Cap Badge is a military insignia associated with the 11th Hussars, a Canadian armoured regiment. This badge was worn on the headdress as part of the regimental uniform, serving both as an identifier and a symbol of unit pride. Typically crafted from brass or bronze, the design most commonly features the regimental numeral “XI” or “11” prominently displayed, often accompanied by a crown and a scroll bearing the unit’s title. Some versions may include additional decorative elements such as maple leaves, reflecting Canadian identity. The cap badge was issued to members during the regiment’s period of active service, which dates from the late 19th century through to various reorganizations in the 20th century. As an artifact, it represents a piece of Canadian military history and is of interest to collectors, historians, and those studying the evolution of Canadian armoured units.
