Above are the scans for this gold-filled "sweetheart" badge for the WWII era Regiment de St. Hyacinthe. Not that the crown portion is not gold filled. The badge has a straight pin attachment in excellent condition. May also be an officer's collar devise. Not a common badge these days...

Le Regiment de St. Hyacinthe was mobilized on January 3, 1942, more than two years after the war began. The regiment spent the war guarding Newfoundland and doing reserve duties in Canada.

Sweetheart badges and pins were often given to a female loved one, by their soldier lover, son (usually), or father. They could have been supplied, for a cost, by the quartermaster or by a private organization, such as Birks. Most were simply converted uniform devises from the regiment, and were available in the tuck shops. Many, if not all of the battalions and regiments had this type of inspirational badge. As the war continued, many of the givers were lost, and did not return. Consequently, these items became very cherished by their recipients. Therefore they are generally called "sweethearts"?

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning

We will remember them.
