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. Typically struck in brass or white metal, the badge features a central maple leaf superimposed with a First World War style tank, symbolizing mechanized warfare. Above the tank is a crown, representing royal patronage, while the text “Canadian Armoured Corps” or its French equivalent is displayed on a scroll beneath. The badge was worn on the service dress cap as a distinctive insignia for the corps, which played a significant role in armoured operations throughout the conflict. The design reflects both the national identity and the mechanized function of the unit. These cap badges were often fitted with lugs or a slider on the reverse for attachment to the headgear. The WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Cap Badge is a representative example of wartime Canadian military insignia.
