WW2 Canadian 17th Duke of Yorks Royal Canadian Hussars Collars Insignia Pair

The WW2 Canadian 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars Collars Insignia Pair consists of two metal collar badges worn by members of this armoured regiment during the Second World War. Each insignia features the regiment’s distinct crest, including crossed lances surmounted by a crown and circlet bearing the unit’s name. The collars are finished in brass, following standard Canadian military specifications of the era. The 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars, formed in the mid-19th century and mobilized during WW2, served as part of Canada’s armoured forces. Collar insignia such as these were worn on the tunic collar as part of the regimental uniform, distinguishing personnel by unit affiliation. The design reflects the regiment’s cavalry roots and British heritage, with lugs and cotter pins typical of the period. These insignia provide a tangible connection to the history of Canadian armoured units during wartime service.
