WW2 Canadian 8th RECCE Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian 8th RECCE Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the 8th (Reconnaissance) Regiment, a unit of the Canadian Army active during the Second World War. This cap badge is typically crafted from brass and features an emblem representative of the regiment’s function and heritage. The central design includes a stylized number “8” and surrounding motifs that reflect the regiment’s reconnaissance role within armoured divisions. The 8th RECCE Regiment, officially known as the 14th Canadian Hussars, served with distinction as the reconnaissance arm of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division in Northwest Europe from 1943 to 1945. Cap badges of this kind were worn on the traditional forage or beret-style headgear and served both as unit identifiers and symbols of regimental pride. The badge is a notable collectible for those interested in Canadian military history and Second World War memorabilia.
