WW1 Canadian CEF University of Toronto COTC Cap Badge

This collectible item is the WW1 Canadian CEF University of Toronto COTC Cap Badge. An authentic piece of Canadian history, it was worn by members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) who were also part of the University of Toronto’s Canadian Officer Training Corps (COTC). The badge, made of metal, features the distinctive design and symbols related to both the CEF and the University of Toronto. The CEF was the designation of the field force created by Canada for service overseas in the First World War. The COTC, on the other hand, was a unit of the Canadian Forces that offered military training to university students. This item is a poignant symbol of the strong bond between academia and military service in the early 20th century. It is a significant artifact for collectors of military memorabilia, historians, and those with a deep interest in Canadian history.
