WW1 Canadian CEF 92nd Battalion Sweetheart Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF 92nd Battalion Sweetheart Badge is a historical artifact associated with the 92nd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Sweetheart badges were typically small pins given to family members or loved ones of soldiers as tokens of connection and support during the war. The badge often features the battalion number, regimental insignia, and national emblems such as the maple leaf. Made from materials such as silver or brass, these badges vary in design but commonly include enamel detailing and a pin-back fastener for wearing on clothing. The 92nd Battalion was raised in Toronto, Ontario, in 1915 and served overseas as part of the larger Canadian military contribution to the conflict. Sweetheart badges like this example provide insight into the personal and familial aspects of wartime experience, as well as the ways in which military service was commemorated on the home front.
