WW2 Canadian Army 2nd Corps Artillery Lapel Badge

The WW2 Canadian Army 2nd Corps Artillery Lapel Badge is a military insignia representing members of the 2nd Canadian Corps Artillery during the Second World War. Composed of metal, this lapel badge was worn on civilian clothing to indicate affiliation with the artillery units of the 2nd Canadian Corps. The design typically features the corps’ distinctive insignia, which often incorporates artillery-related symbols such as a cannon or the regimental motto. The badge measures approximately 2–3 centimeters across and includes a fastening device on the reverse for secure wear. Such badges were issued to soldiers and approved personnel as a means of identification and to foster unit pride while off-duty. The 2nd Canadian Corps was active in several key campaigns in Northwest Europe between 1944 and 1945, and artifacts like this badge serve as material records of Canadian military history during the period of the Second World War.
