WW2 Canadian Highland Light Infantry Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Highland Light Infantry Cap Badge represents the insignia worn by members of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada during the Second World War. This badge is typically constructed from brass and features a coronet surmounting a sphinx set above a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. Further regimental details and symbolic imagery are highlighted on the central device. The badge includes lugs on the reverse for attachment to the uniform headdress. The Highland Light Infantry of Canada served as part of the 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade, 3rd Canadian Division, and participated notably in the Normandy landings and the North-West Europe campaigns. Cap badges functioned both as a form of unit identification and as a symbol of regimental pride. This example reflects official patterns issued during the 1939–1945 period and provides historical insight into the material culture of Canadian military forces during the Second World War.
