WW2 Canadian Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada QOR Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada (QOR) cap badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Queen’s Own Rifles during the Second World War. The badge typically features a bugle horn with cords, a traditional symbol associated with rifle regiments, surmounted by a crown. The regimental motto, “In Pace Paratus” (Prepared in Peace), is displayed on a scroll beneath the horn. Constructed from brass or white metal, these cap badges were worn on the headdress as part of the uniform by personnel serving with the QOR, one of Canada’s oldest and most distinguished infantry regiments. The design reflects both the regiment’s heritage and its role within the Canadian Army during the conflict. Cap badges of this type were used not only for identification but also as a symbol of regimental pride and cohesion among soldiers. This item is relevant to collectors of Canadian military insignia and uniform artifacts from the WW2 era.
