WW2 British The Leinster Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British The Leinster Regiment Cap Badge is an original insignia associated with The Prince of Wales’s Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians), a unit of the British Army. The badge typically features the regimental title and emblem, which includes a crowned tiger above a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. Manufactured from brass or bi-metal, the design reflects symbols linked to the regiment’s heritage and service. Cap badges identified the wearer’s regiment and were standard-issue for the service dress uniform. While The Leinster Regiment was disbanded in 1922 following the establishment of the Irish Free State, some badges continued to be issued for wear by veterans or for commemorative purposes during the Second World War. This badge is a relevant collectible for those with an interest in British military history, insignia, and regimental traditions, representing both the identity of its soldiers and its historical context within the wider framework of British and Irish military units.
