The WW1 Canadian CEF 74th Battery CFA Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the 74th Battery, Canadian Field Artillery, who served as part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. The badge is constructed from metal, typically brass, and is designed to be worn on the service cap. It features detailed regimental symbols, including a stylized artillery gun with corresponding regimental scrolls or numbers denoting the 74th Battery. Such badges were used to identify the wearer’s unit and foster esprit de corps among Canadian artillery personnel. The Canadian Field Artillery played a significant role in providing indirect fire support on the Western Front from 1914 to 1918. Badges from individual batteries, such as the 74th, offer insight into Canadian military organization and the distinct identities of units within the broader framework of the CEF during WW1.
