WW2 Canadian King’s Own Rifles of Canada Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian King’s Own Rifles of Canada Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the King’s Own Rifles of Canada during the Second World War. This brass badge features the regiment’s distinctive bugle-horn symbol at its center, surmounted by the King’s Crown, reflecting the period of King George VI’s reign. The unit title is displayed on a scroll beneath the horn. Cap badges such as this were worn on the service dress caps of Canadian Army personnel as a means of unit identification. The King’s Own Rifles of Canada, an infantry regiment established in 1908, served with distinction in various theaters during WW2. The construction includes lugs or a slider on the reverse for attachment, typical of the era’s cap badges. This artifact is representative of the service, tradition, and structure of Canadian Army regiments in the mid-20th century.
