WW2 Canadian The Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment of Canada Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian The Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment of Canada Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of this distinguished infantry regiment during the Second World War. Formed in Montreal, Quebec, The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada is one of the country’s oldest and most recognized regiments, with roots tracing to the late 19th century. The cap badge typically features a Latin cross with a central stag’s head, surrounded by a wreath of thistles and maple leaves, topped by the Royal Crown and incorporating the regiment’s motto. Constructed in brass or white metal, the badge was affixed to the regimental headdress, such as the tam o’ shanter or the glengarry. It served as a symbol of unit identity and esprit de corps for soldiers both in Canada and overseas. These badges are sought after by collectors and historians interested in Canadian military history and the contributions of the regiment during World War II.
