WW2 Canadian Governor General’s Horse Guards GGHG Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Governor General’s Horse Guards (GGHG) Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the GGHG regiment during the Second World War. The badge typically features the regiment’s distinctive heraldic motifs, incorporating a stylized crown, regimental motto, and symbolic imagery unique to the Governor General’s Horse Guards. Constructed primarily from brass or bi-metal, the badge measures approximately 50mm in height and often includes lugs or a slider for attachment to the service cap. The GGHG is an armoured reconnaissance regiment of the Canadian Army, originally formed in the 19th century and mobilized during World War II as part of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. Badges of this period are identified by their WW2-era construction techniques and detailed craftsmanship. The cap badge represents both the regimental identity and the broader tradition of Canadian cavalry and armoured units serving in key campaigns throughout the conflict.
