WW2 Canadian Lincoln and Welland Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Lincoln and Welland Regiment Cap Badge is a metal insignia issued to members of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment during the Second World War. The badge typically features a beaver atop a maple leaf, with a banner inscribed with the regiment’s name, symbolizing Canadian heritage and regimental identity. The design reflects traditional elements used in Commonwealth military insignia, with a focus on national symbols and unit distinction.
