WW1 Canadian CEF 60th Battalion Collars Insignia Pair

The WW1 Canadian CEF 60th Battalion Collars Insignia Pair consists of two matching collar badges worn by members of the 60th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. These insignia were typically crafted from brass or bronze and feature the distinctive battalion number, often accompanied by traditional Canadian military symbols such as the maple leaf. These badges were worn on the collar of the service tunic to signify unit identification and foster esprit de corps among troops. The 60th Battalion, also known as the Victoria Rifles of Canada, was authorized in 1915 and served in several significant campaigns during WWI, including actions on the Western Front. Original examples, such as this matched pair, demonstrate period construction techniques and design, reflecting the insignia style used throughout the Canadian forces at the time. These items are of particular interest to collectors of First World War Canadian militaria and military historians.
