WW2 Canadian The Irish Regiment of Canada Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian The Irish Regiment of Canada Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of The Irish Regiment of Canada during the Second World War. This badge features a maple leaf design with a central harp—a traditional symbol of Ireland—set within a wreath and surmounted by the Crown. Below the harp is a scroll bearing the regiment’s name. The cap badge was typically manufactured in brass or white metal and worn on the headdress of Canadian soldiers serving with the regiment. The Irish Regiment of Canada, mobilized in 1939, was part of the Canadian Army and served in various theaters, including Italy and Northwest Europe. This insignia represents both regimental identity and the broader contributions of Canadian forces during the war. The design reflects the unit’s Irish heritage and its service within the Commonwealth military tradition during the conflict.
