WW2 Canadian Second/Tenth (2nd/10th) Dragoons Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Second/Tenth (2nd/10th) Dragoons Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the 2nd/10th Dragoons, a unit within the Canadian Army during the Second World War. This badge is typically constructed from brass and features a central emblem consisting of a maple leaf design, which is a common motif in Canadian military heraldry. Surmounting the maple leaf is a crown, denoting allegiance to the British Crown, while the unit’s designation is marked prominently on a scroll or banner incorporated into the design. The reverse side commonly has lugs or a slider for attachment to the soldier’s headdress. The cap badge served both as a form of identification and as an expression of regimental pride. The 2nd/10th Dragoons were part of the Canadian Armoured Corps, and their insignia reflects traditional cavalry symbolism melded with national and regimental identifiers.
