WW2 Canadian 19th Alberta Dragoons Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian 19th Alberta Dragoons Cap Badge is a historical military insignia issued during the Second World War. The badge represents the 19th Alberta Dragoons, an armoured regiment of the Canadian militia with origins dating back to 1908. The badge is typically constructed from brass and features a crowned beaver above a scroll bearing the regiment’s name, “19th Alberta Dragoons,” set against a wreath background. The design reflects the Canadian origins and identity of the unit. Cap badges such as this were worn on the service dress headdress by members of the regiment as a distinguishing emblem. During the Second World War, the 19th Alberta Dragoons contributed personnel to armoured and reconnaissance operations. Original cap badges are identifiable by their period construction and specific fastening methods, such as lugs or a slider. This item is of interest to collectors, historians, and those studying Canadian military heritage from the mid-twentieth century.
