WW2 Canadian Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment Cap Badge With Tartan Backing

The WW2 Canadian Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment Cap Badge with Tartan Backing is an insignia used by members of the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment during the Second World War. The badge consists of a metal device featuring traditional symbols associated with the regiment, such as a thistle and scrollwork bearing the regiment’s name. This example includes a piece of regimental tartan fabric mounted behind the badge, a feature commonly seen on Scottish regimental cap badges to denote unit identity and preserve heritage. The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment, formed in Ontario, has its origins in the late 19th century, serving as an infantry regiment within the Canadian Army. During WW2, members of the regiment served both in Canada and overseas. The cap badge served as a distinctive form of identification for personnel, typically worn on a khaki Tam O’Shanter or balmoral headdress. Its design reflects the regiment’s Scottish roots within the Canadian military tradition.
