WW1 Canadian CEF 26th Battalion New Brunswick Regiment Large Brass Button

The WW1 Canadian CEF 26th Battalion New Brunswick Regiment Large Brass Button is an original military uniform component issued during the First World War. This large-sized brass button features the regimental insignia of the 26th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), representing New Brunswick. The design typically includes the battalion’s identifying motifs and is intended for use on the tunics and dress uniforms of enlisted personnel and officers. Produced between 1914 and 1918, such buttons were manufactured to the specifications prescribed by the Canadian military at the time. The reverse side generally bears a maker’s mark or manufacturer’s stamp, and an attachment loop or shank for securing the button to fabric. Items like this are valued for their historical significance and as examples of Canadian military material culture from the First World War era. The button serves as a tangible connection to the service of New Brunswick soldiers during the conflict.
