WW2 Canadian Cape Breton Highlanders Glengarry Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Cape Breton Highlanders Glengarry Cap Badge is a distinctive military insignia worn by members of the Cape Breton Highlanders regiment of the Canadian Army during the Second World War. This brass badge is characterized by its unique design, featuring the regimental emblem—a stag’s head over a scroll bearing the unit name—and a heraldic motto. Intended for wear on the traditional glengarry cap, the badge signifies regimental identity and unit cohesion. The Cape Breton Highlanders served as part of the Canadian Infantry Corps and participated in several significant campaigns in Italy and Northwest Europe. Cap badges such as this one were produced to specific military specifications and often include attachment lugs on the reverse for securing to headgear. This item represents a piece of Canadian military heritage from the 1939–1945 period, reflecting both the traditions of Scottish-Canadian regiments and the broader context of Canada’s military involvement in the Second World War.
