The WW1 Canadian CEF 76th Battalion Cap Badge is a military artifact issued to members of the 76th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. Constructed primarily of brass, the badge features a maple leaf design, a common motif in Canadian military insignia, with “76” prominently displayed at the center. The scrolls typically bear the words “76th Battalion” and “Overseas Battalion CEF,” denoting the unit and its service abroad. The reverse side commonly includes lugs or a pin system for attachment to a uniform cap.
