WW1 Canadian CEF Newfoundland Regiment Collar Insignia Single

This item is a single collar insignia from the Newfoundland Regiment, part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. Formed in 1914, the Newfoundland Regiment served with distinction on multiple fronts, including Gallipoli, France, and Belgium. The collar insignia is typically constructed from brass and features the distinctive caribou head, representing the regiment’s symbol. Measurement, construction methods, and attachment style correspond to standard issue pieces used throughout the war period. Collar badges such as this were worn in pairs on the uniform’s collar, signifying regimental affiliation and contributing to unit cohesion. The Newfoundland Regiment maintained a unique identity within the CEF, as Newfoundland was a British Dominion separate from Canada during the First World War. This insignia serves as a physical representation of the regiment’s service and the broader contribution of Newfoundland forces to the Allied war effort.
