WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge was issued to members of the Canadian Armoured Corps during the Second World War. This brass insignia features a central maple leaf behind a stylized tank, surmounted by a king’s crown, and is set within a laurel wreath. Below the tank motif appears a scroll inscribed with “Canadian Armoured Corps.” The badge was affixed to the service dress cap and served as an identifier for personnel in armoured units. Established in 1940, the Canadian Armoured Corps played a significant role in mechanized warfare, including engagements in Europe and the Mediterranean. Construction details typically include a slider or lug fastenings on the reverse for attachment to the cap. Badge variations exist due to different manufacturers, but the overall design remained consistent throughout the conflict. This item represents a distinctive element of Canadian military headgear from the WWII period.
