WW2 Royal Canadian Lord Strathcona’s Horse Collars Insignia Pair

This item consists of a matching pair of collar insignia used by the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) regiment during the Second World War. The insignia are constructed of metal, typically featuring the regiment’s distinctive badge elements, which may include the beaver, maple leaves, and scrolls bearing the unit name or motto. Collar badges were worn on the tunics of other ranks and officers as part of the Canadian Army uniform to denote regimental affiliation. The Lord Strathcona’s Horse, a cavalry regiment formed in 1900, played a significant role in Canadian armoured operations during the Second World War. The design and quality of these insignia reflect wartime manufacturing standards and regimental traditions. Each badge is equipped with lugs and pins or slider fastenings on the reverse for attachment to the collar. Such items are valued for their historical association with Canadian armoured forces and as original examples of military insignia from the period.
