Glengarry with post 1923 SHC cap badge
Seaforth glengarry with red, white and blue dicing. On the hat is a Post 1923 Seaforth Highlanders of Canada cap badge. It is a cut down version of the 3D flat badge with the cornet and cypher removed.
From the Regimental History, page 52 footnote:
"Officially the regimental cap badge is described in General Order No. 111 of 1923 as: "In silver, a stag's head, with the letter 'L' and a coronet, set between the antlers, the whole resting on a scroll bearing the Gaelic motto 'CUIDICH'N RIGH' ." The shoulder badge was described in General Order 94, of 15 June 1928, in these words: "In Gilt, the title 'SEAFORTHS' in half inch letters in the form of a quarter circle." Other ranks wore the same, but in brass. The hat badge supplied to the unit before and during the war did not conform to that worn by the affiliated regiment, and despite unending correspondence over a decade, the Seaforths were unable to have the badge they wanted issued to them. Consequently, the
Seaforths had their badges privately manufactured to ensure its conformity with the "imperial" Seaforths."
