WW2 Canadian Calgary Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Calgary Regiment Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the Calgary Regiment during the Second World War. This metal badge features the regimental emblem, displaying a central rose and scrolls that denote the unit’s name. The Calgary Regiment, an armoured unit within the Canadian Army, played a significant role in various campaigns, including the Dieppe Raid and operations in Italy. The cap badge was typically affixed to the service dress headdress, serving as a symbol of regimental identity and esprit de corps. The design reflects both British and Canadian military insignia traditions of the period. Measuring approximately 4.3 cm in height, the badge is manufactured from brass and features lugs or a slider on the reverse for attachment. Such badges are valued for their historical association with Canadian armoured forces and their participation in key Second World War events.
