WW2 Canadian Coloured Field Service Cap Fusiliers de Mont-Royal

The WW2 Canadian Coloured Field Service Cap Fusiliers de Mont-Royal is a standard issue side cap worn by members of the Fusiliers de Mont-Royal regiment during the Second World War. Constructed from wool, this cap features distinct regimental colours, typically incorporating scarlet and blue panels indicative of the unit’s identity. A black leather or cloth sweatband is usually present on the interior for comfort. The front of the cap is designed to accommodate a regimental badge or insignia, which would identify the wearer’s unit within the Canadian Army. Field service caps such as this example were used throughout the conflict for their practicality and ease of wear with both dress and service uniforms. The Fusiliers de Mont-Royal, an infantry regiment based in Montreal, played an active role in several key campaigns during the war, including the Dieppe Raid. This cap represents a typical piece of Canadian military headgear from the era.
