WW2 Canadian Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada Black Glengarry

The WW2 Canadian Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada Black Glengarry is a traditional military headdress associated with this distinguished infantry regiment. The glengarry is constructed from black wool and features a toorie (pom-pom) at the crown, silk tails at the rear, and a black silk ribbon band. A regimental cap badge is typically affixed to the left side of the headdress, identifying the wearer’s unit. This glengarry style was widely worn by enlisted ranks and officers during the Second World War for dress and ceremonial occasions, as well as certain field situations. The design reflects Scottish military heritage, consistent with the regiment’s origins and traditions. The glengarry provided a practical and distinctive head covering suitable for wear with standard battledress. Items such as this are valued for their historical association with Canadian participation in World War II, particularly in units with Highland dress traditions.
