WW2 Canadian Three Rivers Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Three Rivers Regiment Cap Badge is a metal insignia issued to members of The Three Rivers Regiment during the Second World War. Formed in 1936 and mobilized as an armoured unit in 1940, the regiment served as part of the 12th Armoured Regiment within the Canadian Armoured Corps. The cap badge typically features a beaver positioned above the unit title scroll reading “Three Rivers Regiment,” surmounted by a crown. This design symbolizes both Canadian heritage and royal allegiance. The badge was worn on the service dress cap as part of the standard uniform, identifying the wearer’s unit. Constructed primarily of brass or white metal, depending on manufacturer and period, it was secured to the cap with lug fasteners and a split pin. The Three Rivers Regiment participated in key operations in Italy and Northwest Europe, making this cap badge a representative artifact from Canada’s armoured regiments during World War II.
