Description

Guaranteed original. Complete & intact. This is an original WW1 metal Canada 83rd "Queen's Own Rifles of Canada" Battalion, CEF Regiment Collar Badge for sale. In good condition complete with lugs. During the First World War, the Canadian Army authorized the formation of 260 infantry battalions to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Of these, only a small fraction of these battalions ever reached France to serve on the front lines. The remaining battalions, most often upon arrival in England, were broken up and primarily absorbed into a reserve battalion.
