WW2 Royal Canadian Engineers RCE Cap Badge

The WW2 Royal Canadian Engineers (RCE) Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of the Royal Canadian Engineers during the Second World War. The badge is typically constructed from brass and features the traditional Royal Engineers design, which includes a laurel wreath encircling the Garter Star and Motto, surmounted by the King’s Crown and the Royal Cipher. The inscription “Royal Canadian Engineers” is displayed prominently on the scroll at the base of the badge. Issued as part of the standard headdress for Canadian Army engineers, this badge was used to signify unit identity and corps affiliation. The design reflects both the Commonwealth connection to the British Royal Engineers and distinctive Canadian elements. The badge would have been attached to service caps or berets and was worn by personnel involved in combat engineering, construction, and logistical support operations. This item represents a common form of insignia from Canadian military forces in the 1939–1945 period.
