WW2 Canadian The Essex Scottish White Metal Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian The Essex Scottish White Metal Cap Badge is an authentic military insignia issued to members of The Essex Scottish Regiment during the Second World War. Crafted in white metal, the badge features the regiment’s distinct insignia: a stag’s head above a scroll inscribed “The Essex Scottish,” set against a maple leaf background. The badge measures approximately 50 millimeters in height and was designed for wear on the standard service cap. Established in Windsor, Ontario, The Essex Scottish Regiment served as part of the Canadian Army’s infantry and participated in several key operations, including the Dieppe Raid and campaigns in Northwest Europe. The white metal variation of the cap badge was commonly used during wartime due to the scarcity of brass. This badge represents both the identity and heritage of the regiment within the Canadian military structure of the era. It is a tangible artifact from the period of 1939 to 1945.
