WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Diced Glengarry With Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Diced Glengarry With Cap Badge is a period headgear item originally issued to members of The Essex Scottish Regiment during the Second World War. This glengarry features a traditional diced red, white, and blue band, a hallmark of Scottish regimental dress, and is constructed from dark blue wool. The piece is fitted with a brass Essex Scottish cap badge, displaying the regiment’s insignia, which includes the St. Andrew’s Cross and the regiment’s name. The glengarry was part of the standard walking out and parade dress and would have been worn with the battalion’s ceremonial uniform. The Essex Scottish Regiment, based in Windsor, Ontario, saw active service throughout the war, notably participating in the Dieppe Raid and the Northwest Europe campaign. This item reflects both the regimental traditions maintained in Canadian units and the distinctive Scottish heritage within the Canadian Army during the WWII era.
