WW2 Canadian Le Regiment de Maisonneuve Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Le Regiment de Maisonneuve Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of Le Régiment de Maisonneuve, a primary reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. Formed in Montreal, this regiment participated actively in the Second World War, with service in both home defense and overseas deployments. The cap badge features a stylized beaver surmounting a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name, set against a distinctive wreath backdrop. It is constructed in stamped metal with a lug fastener on the reverse for attachment to the standard-issue service cap. The design and materials used reflect Canadian military insignia standards of the WWII period. This badge served both as a symbol of regimental identity and as a functional piece of uniform, reflecting the heritage and contributions of Le Régiment de Maisonneuve during the conflict. Such badges are part of broader Canadian military collecting and historical research.
