WW1 Canadian CEF 7th Battalion British Columbia Cap Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF 7th Battalion British Columbia Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued during the First World War to members of the 7th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). Raised in British Columbia in 1914, the 7th Battalion was part of the 1st Canadian Division and served with distinction on the Western Front throughout the conflict. The cap badge typically features a maple leaf design, symbolic of Canada, with the battalion number “7” and unit title incorporated into the center. Constructed from brass or bronze, the badge was worn on the service cap as part of the standard uniform, distinguishing members of the 7th Battalion from other Canadian units. As with all official military badges, the reverse side commonly exhibits lugs or a slider for attachment. The cap badge represents a tangible link to Canada’s military heritage and the contribution of British Columbia volunteers during the First World War.
