WW1 Canadian CEF 14th Canadian Light Horse Cap Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF 14th Canadian Light Horse Cap Badge represents the insignia worn by members of the 14th Canadian Light Horse during the First World War. Formed as part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), the 14th Canadian Light Horse was a cavalry regiment recruited primarily from the western provinces. The cap badge is typically constructed from brass and features the regimental emblem: crossed lances surmounted by a crown, with a central scroll bearing the unit designation “14th Canadian Light Horse.” Additional details may include the motto and identifying marks unique to the regiment. Cap badges served both as a means of identification and unit pride among service members and were worn on the headdress as part of the standard uniform. The design and construction reflect the period’s military traditions and the Canadian commitment to mounted units during the early years of the First World War.
