WW2 Canadian 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards PLDG Bullion Wire Blazer Crest

This WW2 Canadian 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards (PLDG) Bullion Wire Blazer Crest is an insignia associated with a cavalry regiment of the Canadian Army. The crest is constructed using metallic bullion wire, a technique commonly employed for higher-quality regimental badges and blazer crests during the period. The design typically features the regiment’s emblem, which includes the regimental crown and scrolls referencing the unit’s lineage and honors, set against a dark backing material. Such crests were worn on civilian blazers by officers and former members to signify association with the 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards. The regiment, originally formed in the 19th century, served with distinction in both World Wars, including important actions in the Italian Campaign during the Second World War. Bullion wire crests such as this are valued for their craftsmanship and serve as historical artifacts representing Canadian military heritage.
