WW2 Canadian Dufferin and Haldimand Rifles Officer’s Medium Size Pocket Button

This is a World War II-era officer’s pocket button from the Dufferin and Haldimand Rifles of Canada. The button is medium-sized, designed for use on the service dress of Canadian officers, and features the regimental insignia of the Dufferin and Haldimand Rifles. Made from brass, the button typically displays the regimental motto and crest, emblematic of the unit’s identity within the Canadian Army during the Second World War. The rear side is equipped with a shank for secure attachment to the uniform. Pocket buttons such as this were part of standard-issue officers’ attire and contributed to both functional fastening and the display of regimental affiliation. The Dufferin and Haldimand Rifles was a unit in the Canadian Army formed from a merger of two earlier regiments, and its members served in various capacities throughout the war. Original buttons from this period are notable for their historical relevance and detailed craftsmanship.
