WW2 Canadian Three Rivers Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Three Rivers Regiment Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Three Rivers Regiment during the Second World War. The badge is crafted in brass and features a central beaver motif, representing Canada, atop a heraldic wreath. The scroll beneath bears the inscription “THREE RIVERS REGIMENT” in raised lettering, signifying the unit’s designation. Above the beaver, a king’s crown denotes allegiance to the British monarchy during the period of George VI. The badge was worn on the headdress as part of the regimental uniform. The Three Rivers Regiment, later known as the 12th Armoured Regiment, was part of the Canadian Armoured Corps and participated in significant operations including the Italian Campaign and the liberation of Northwest Europe. Cap badges of this type are recognized for their distinctive design and serve as historical artifacts reflecting regimental identity within the Canadian Army of the Second World War.
