WW2 Canadian 2nd/10th Dragoons Officer’s Guilt Pocket Button

The WW2 Canadian 2nd/10th Dragoons Officer’s Gilt Pocket Button is a uniform accessory dating from the period of the Second World War. This button was issued to officers of the 2nd/10th Dragoons, a regiment within the Canadian Armoured Corps. The button is constructed of gilt-finished metal, a standard material for officer insignia at the time, providing enhanced durability and a distinguished appearance compared to other ranks’ brass versions. Typical features include regimental insignia or monogram, accompanied by a crown, reflecting the unit’s affiliation with the Canadian military and its Commonwealth heritage. Pocket buttons such as this one were designed for placement on tunics or jackets, serving both practical and decorative functions. Items of this type contribute to the identification and differentiation of regimental uniforms and are valued for their historical association with Canadian armoured units active during the Second World War.
