WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Regiment Collars Insignia Pair

This is a pair of WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Regiment collar insignia, representative of the unit’s official uniform accoutrements during the Second World War. Each collar badge displays the regimental insignia associated with the Essex Scottish Regiment, a Canadian infantry regiment based in Windsor, Ontario. The badges are typically constructed from brass or a similar metal, and feature the distinctive design elements authorized for wear by members of the regiment. During the Second World War, the Essex Scottish Regiment was mobilized for active service and participated in notable engagements, including the Dieppe Raid of 1942. Collar insignia such as these served both to identify the wearer’s regimental affiliation and to distinguish military ranks and units in the field. They are standard-sized pairs intended for attachment to the soldier’s service dress collar. These examples are representative of the period and illustrate the regimental identity within the Canadian Army during WW2.
