WW2 Canadian Army Khaki Beret With Perth Regiment Cap Badge Size 7 1/2 Dated 1945

This item is a World War II-era Canadian Army khaki beret, featuring the cap badge of the Perth Regiment. The beret is size 7 1/2 and is clearly dated 1945. Constructed in khaki wool, this standard issue beret formed part of the Canadian Army uniform during the latter part of the Second World War, particularly from 1943 onwards when berets became widely adopted across Commonwealth forces. The attached metal cap badge represents the Perth Regiment, an infantry unit that served within the 5th Canadian Armoured Division in the Italian Campaign and Northwest Europe. The beret retains its original lining and markings, including the date, manufacturer details, and size specification. This example illustrates standard Canadian military headgear of the period, with features typical of wartime production. Such items are valued for their historical association with Canadian infantry units and the final stages of World War II in Europe.
