WW1 Canadian CEF General List Cap Badge (1)

The WW1 Canadian CEF General List Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This badge was typically worn on the service dress cap by soldiers whose units did not have a distinctive regimental badge or were attached to various support services within the CEF. The badge is constructed from brass and features a maple leaf design, with the monogram “CEF” (Canadian Expeditionary Force) prominently displayed at the center. Above the monogram, a crown symbolizes loyalty to the British monarchy. The reverse side often includes a slider or lug fastenings for attachment to the uniform. The General List Cap Badge represents a significant aspect of Canadian military history, reflecting the structure and organization of the CEF during the 1914-1918 conflict. It is a relevant item for both military historians and collectors of Canadian First World War artifacts.
