CANADA, WWII, 1st Canadian Armoured (Personnel) Carrier Regiment 'The Canadian Kangaroos', cap badge (copy) in gilt bronze (44mm). Very fine.
Formed in Netherlands in October 1944 and disbanded in Netherlands on 20 June 1945. The kangaroo badge was adopted by the unit because troops could be carried in modified tanks as a baby kangaroo, a joey, can be carried safely in its mother's pouch. The badge's motto translates to 'Bearing Armed Men'.
