WW1 Canadian CEF Royal Artillery Cap Badge

The WW1 Canadian CEF Royal Artillery Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Royal Canadian Artillery serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This badge features a detailed brass representation of a field gun set on wheels, surmounted by a crown, and accompanied by the motto “UBIQUE” (meaning “everywhere”) and “QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT” (“Whither right and glory lead”). The reverse is typically fitted with lugs or a slider for attachment to a uniform headdress. These badges identified artillery personnel and were part of the standard issue insignia for soldiers in this branch. The design reflects strong British influence, as the Canadian artillery stemmed from British Army traditions. Issued from 1914 through 1918, these cap badges are notable for their craftsmanship and historical association with Canadian involvement in major First World War campaigns.
