Victoria Rifles of Canada Glengarry Badge

The Victoria Rifles of Canada Glengarry Badge is a historical insignia associated with the Victoria Rifles of Canada, an infantry regiment established in 1862 and based in Montreal, Quebec. This badge was designed to be worn on the traditional Scottish Glengarry cap, reflecting the regiment’s Scottish heritage and military traditions. Typically crafted in metal, the badge features a central bugle horn, a common symbol for rifle regiments, often surrounded by a wreath or scroll bearing the unit’s name and motto. The badge served as a distinctive emblem for members of the Victoria Rifles, identifying their unit affiliation both in formal parade dress and during active service. Such insignia played an important role in the visual identity and esprit de corps of Canadian militia units of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The design and construction may vary according to the period of manufacture and the specific pattern issued to the regiment.
