WW2 Canadian Irish Regiment of Canada Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Irish Regiment of Canada Cap Badge is a metal insignia worn by members of the Irish Regiment of Canada during the Second World War. The badge features a crowned harp, a traditional symbol associated with Irish regiments in Commonwealth forces. Surrounding the harp is a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name, “The Irish Regiment of Canada.” The construction typically includes brass or white metal and a lug fastener on the reverse for attachment to the regimental headdress. This badge served both as a means of identification and as a symbol of regimental pride within the Canadian Army. The Irish Regiment of Canada, established in 1915, saw active service in Europe during World War II, particularly in the Italian Campaign. The cap badge remains an emblem of the regiment’s historical heritage and military service during a significant period of Canadian military history.
