WW1 Canada - 13th Battalion CEF 1st Canadian Division The Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) Of Canada – King’s Crown Browning Copper Cap Metal Cap Badge

Browning copper die struck cap badge. The two lugs seem quite short so possibly contemporary replacements. Some loss of detail to the highpoints from polishing otherwise in good original condition.

The Battalion was raised in Quebec and Nova Scotia with mobilization headquarters at Camp Valcartier, Quebec under the authority of P.C.O. 2067, August 6, 1914. The Battalion sailed October 3, 1914 under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel F.O.W. Loomis with a strength of 45 officers and 1,112 other ranks.
