WW2 Canadian Winnipeg Grenadiers Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Winnipeg Grenadiers Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of the Winnipeg Grenadiers during the Second World War. This brass badge typically features a stylized flaming grenade surmounted by the regimental title “WINNIPEG GRENADIERS” on a surrounding scroll. In service, the badge was attached to the front of the standard issue forage or service cap, signifying the wearer’s affiliation with the regiment. The Winnipeg Grenadiers were a Canadian Army infantry unit known for their involvement in significant campaigns, including the defense of Hong Kong in 1941. The design and construction of the cap badge reflect the traditional regimental symbols and are representative of Commonwealth military insignia of the period. Measuring approximately 4.5 cm high, these badges were produced in Canada and remain of interest to collectors of Canadian militaria and military historians documenting unit identification and equipment from the era.
