WW2 Royal Canadian Engineers RCE Cap Badge

The WW2 Royal Canadian Engineers (RCE) Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to personnel of the Royal Canadian Engineers during the Second World War. The badge is typically constructed from brass and features a central beaver atop a crowned garter inscribed with the regiment’s motto and name. The design is encircled by a laurel wreath, symbolizing achievement and honor, and surmounted by the King’s Crown, denoting its period of use under King George VI. The cap badge was worn on the service dress headdress and distinguished members of the Royal Canadian Engineers, a corps responsible for military engineering, construction, and demolition duties for the Canadian Army. The fastening on the reverse side usually consists of two lugs or a slider, depending on the manufacturer and variation. The badge’s design reflects the British and Commonwealth military tradition and serves as a historical artifact representing Canadian military service during World War II.
