Canadian Army 15th Light Horse Cap Badge

The Canadian Army 15th Light Horse Cap Badge is an original insignia associated with the 15th Light Horse, a Canadian cavalry regiment established in Alberta in 1905. The badge typically features the regiment’s distinctive emblem, often comprising a maple leaf design, the regimental number “15” displayed prominently, and a scroll bearing the name “Light Horse.” Constructed from brass or similar metals, the badge was worn on the service cap as part of the regimental uniform, serving both as a mark of identification and regimental pride. The 15th Light Horse played a role in domestic duties during its existence and was later reorganized with other units. This cap badge reflects early 20th-century Canadian military insignia design and serves as a historical artifact for collectors or those studying the evolution of Canadian cavalry regiments. Pin fastenings or lugs are typically present on the reverse for attachment to headgear.
