WW2 Canadian Queen’s Own Rifles QOR Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Queen’s Own Rifles (QOR) Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada during the Second World War. This badge is typically constructed from brass or white metal and features the regimental insignia: a bugle horn with strings and a central “QOR” monogram, surmounted by the regimental motto and a crown. The design reflects the light infantry traditions of the regiment, with the bugle horn symbolizing quick movement and skirmishing ability. The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada served with distinction in both the First and Second World Wars, including significant actions in Europe following the 1944 D-Day landings. Cap badges such as this one were worn on the service dress cap as a key part of a soldier’s uniform, providing both identification and a symbol of regimental pride. The reverse typically includes lugs or a slider for attachment to the cap.
