WW2 Canadian Fort Garry Horse Cap Badge Missing Overlay

The WW2 Canadian Fort Garry Horse Cap Badge was worn by members of the Fort Garry Horse, an armoured regiment of the Canadian Army. This example is missing its central overlay, which would typically display the regiment’s insignia. The badge is constructed from metal and follows the standard design used during the Second World War, featuring the regiment’s name and associated imagery. Badges like these were attached to the service caps of soldiers for regimental identification and to signify unit pride. The remaining features on this badge include the laurel wreath and crown, which were common elements in Canadian military insignia of the period. The absence of the overlay makes this piece representative of incomplete insignia often found in field or surplus conditions. This item reflects a specific aspect of Canadian military history during World War II and is of interest for its association with one of the nation’s established armoured units.
