WW1 Canadian CEF 138th Battalion Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF 138th Battalion Collar Insignia Single is a metal badge originally issued to members of the 138th (Edmonton, Alberta) Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. The insignia typically features the battalion number, “138,” accompanied by a maple leaf or other regimental symbols, depending on the manufacturer. These badges were worn on the uniform collar to designate unit affiliation and were part of the standard issue insignia for CEF personnel. The 138th Battalion was authorized in December 1915 and served as a reinforcement unit in Europe. Examples of this collar insignia are valued by collectors for their historical association with Canada’s involvement in World War I and are representative of early 20th-century Canadian military uniforms. The badge is made from brass or bronze, and its design reflects the regimental identity and traditions of the unit. This listing is for a single collar insignia.
