WW1 Canadian CEF Canadian Engineers Cap Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF Canadian Engineers Cap Badge is an original regimental insignia issued to members of the Canadian Engineers during the First World War. Created for use by soldiers serving in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), this brass badge features a central beaver surmounting a maple leaf, with a scroll below reading “Canadian Engineers.” The badge is topped with the royal crown, indicative of Commonwealth affiliations during the era. The reverse side typically includes lugs or a slider attachment for securing the badge to military headdress. The Canadian Engineers were responsible for a broad range of engineering duties in the field, including construction, fortifications, bridging, and other technical operations vital to the Canadian war effort from 1914 to 1918. These cap badges served both as a unit identifier and as part of the official uniform, reflecting the corps’ heritage and contributions during the conflict.
