WW1 Canadian CEF 95th Battalion Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF 95th Battalion Collar Insignia Single is an original metal badge issued to members of the 95th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This collar insignia was worn as part of the standard uniform to identify regimental affiliation. The design typically features the battalion number “95” in the center, often encircled by a maple leaf or wreath motif, reflecting Canadian military symbolism of the era. Such insignia were crafted in brass or bronze and measured approximately 1 to 1.25 inches in height. The 95th Battalion, authorized in December 1915, recruited personnel primarily from Toronto, Ontario, before being absorbed into reserve units later in the war. Collar insignia like this example played a functional role in denoting unit identity within the CEF and remain representative artifacts of Canadian military heritage from the First World War period.
