WW1 Canadian CEF 73rd Battery CFA Cap Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF 73rd Battery CFA Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the 73rd Battery, Canadian Field Artillery, during the First World War. The badge is constructed from brass and features the distinctive design used by Canadian artillery units of the period. At its center is the stylized artillery gun emblem, surmounted by the royal crown, with the unit designation “73rd Battery CFA” displayed prominently. The reverse side typically includes a lug or slider fastener for attachment to the cap. This badge was worn as part of the standard uniform by soldiers in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, specifically in artillery roles. Such insignia served both as an identifier of unit affiliation and as a symbol of service. The piece reflects the organizational structure and visual traditions of the Canadian military during the early twentieth century and is representative of badges issued to artillery personnel in WW1.
