Canadian Forces Lincoln and Welland Regiment Cap Badge

The Canadian Forces Lincoln and Welland Regiment Cap Badge is an insignia associated with The Lincoln and Welland Regiment, a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. The regiment traces its roots to the early militia organizations of Southern Ontario, formally established in 1863. The cap badge typically features a beaver atop a wreath, with a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. Beneath the wreath, the regimental motto “Non Nobis Sed Patriae” is displayed, translated as “Not for Ourselves but for Our Country.” The badge was worn on the service caps of enlisted personnel to denote regimental affiliation. Constructed from metal, such as brass or white metal depending on the era, these badges reflect variations in design across different periods of use. The cap badge serves both as a symbol of regimental pride and as an identifier within the broader organizational structure of the Canadian Forces.
