Canadian The Yorkton Regiment Cap Badge

The Canadian The Yorkton Regiment Cap Badge is a metal insignia representing The Yorkton Regiment, an infantry regiment of the Canadian Militia active from 1920 to 1936. The badge typically features a stylized maple leaf surmounted by a king’s crown, with a central scroll inscribed “The Yorkton Regiment.” The design reflects traditional elements of Canadian military heraldry, signifying the regiment’s geographical and national identity. The Yorkton Regiment was based in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and contributed personnel during the early twentieth century as part of the Non-Permanent Active Militia. In 1936, the regiment was amalgamated with The Regina Rifle Regiment, and its distinctive insignia was discontinued. Cap badges such as this were worn on military headdress to denote regimental affiliation and are now sought after by collectors of Canadian militaria for their historic representation of interwar Canadian infantry units. This example is typical of the period in design and construction.
