WW1 Canadian CEF For Service At The Front No 324973 Lapel Pin

The WW1 Canadian CEF For Service At The Front No 324973 Lapel Pin is an original First World War artifact issued to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) who served on the front lines. This brass pin was part of a series created to recognize and identify those who had been deployed overseas during the conflict. The obverse features the inscription “For Service At The Front” surrounding the CEF insignia, with the individual service number, 324973, stamped below. Measuring approximately 22mm in diameter, the pin was designed to be worn on civilian clothing, allowing the wearer to display their contribution once returned to Canada. Such pins served both as a form of recognition and as an official symbol to distinguish veterans. Items like this represent tangible links to the experiences of Canadian soldiers during the Great War, providing insight into the ways in which their service was acknowledged by military authorities and the public.
