You are viewing a clean brass badge set for the "Lord Straths", Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) (LdSH [RC]). This 4 piece grouping is made of brass, with a vintage period cap badge in beautiful condition. Design features still clear and distinct. 

All are in excellent condition with their original "lug" type fasteners complete and intact. Also includes an original period shoulder flash. The set comes from a WWII veteran I once knew.

Some History: Today this regiment is an armored regiment of the current Canadian Forces and is based in Edmonton, Alberta.The Lord Straths are part of Land Force Western Area 1st Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group. And as of the writing of this note two squadrons are in the Afghanistan Campaign. The main vehicles operated by Lord Strathcona's Horse are the Leopard Tank and the Coyote Recon Vehicle.

The Lord Straths have been around since the Boer War. They were commanded by the Famous Sam Steele. The original members of the regiment were from the Northwest Mounted Police. They embarked for South Africa in 1899.

During WWI the regiment was mobilized and began its training in England. In 1915, Lord Strathcona's Horse served as infantry in the trenches in France. On 16 February 1916, the Strathcona's were reconstituted as a mounted force. On 31 March 1918, in what is known as "the last great cavalry charge" at the Battle of Moreuil Wood Gordon Flowerdrew was posthumously awarded the Victoria cross for leading his men in a successful engagement with entrenched German forces.

In July 1940, LdSH(RC) along with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, were mobilized as the 1st Canadian Motorcycle Regiment. Later that year, the Strathcona's became 2nd Armored Regiment, Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians). The Regiment trained in England for two years with Canadian built Ram Tanks and saw its first action in an armored role in Italy.... Great history still going on today !!
