WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals Cap Badge

The WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals Cap Badge is an original military insignia worn by members of the Canadian Army’s communications branch during the Second World War. The badge features the Corps’ distinctive emblem, which typically includes a winged lightning bolt positioned over a globe, surmounted by a Crown, and flanked by laurel leaves. The scroll at the base is inscribed with the unit’s title. Manufactured in brass or bi-metal with either lug or slider fastenings, this cap badge was issued as part of the standard uniform for Signals personnel. Its design symbolizes the Corps’ role in facilitating communication across the Canadian and Allied armed forces during the conflict. The badge reflects both rank-and-file and officer versions, with only slight style variations. Items of this type are of historical interest for collectors and researchers documenting Canadian military headgear and insignia from the 1939-1945 period.
