Unknown Canadian Cap Badge Kings Crown ?

[triplecanopy]

Most of the older Canadian Cap Badges I have can be identified with unit or other emblazoned lettering. This one has only a large Star in a wreath of maple leaves topped by a King's Crown. Can anyone ID this for me? Thanks

I know that the Cameronians wore a large star above the title "CAMERONIANS" in WWI, but the badge didn't have a wreath. There was eventually a wreath and a hunting horn added to their cap badge, but I don't recall a crown at the top. I would guess that it has something to do with the regiment.

Thanks Allan,

I did not know that you were also into Canadian badges. Here is the only CAMERONIAN Badge I currently have. When I was in Canada back in the 1980's I had the opportunity to pick up quite a few of their older badges. I have traded off many of them but was having trouble ID'ing the one with just a large star. Thanks for your insight.

All the best!

This badge is for the Cameron Highlanders. The Cameronians were a completely different regiment.

Thanks Allan,

I will make a note. I am a bit rusty on my older Canadian badges.
