Title 43rd Cameron Highlanders of Canada button
Nationality Canadian
Period c 1914
Price £4.00

This regiment, raised in 1914 as the 43rd Infantry Battalion, also known as the Cameron Highlanders, served with great distinction on the Western Front in WW1 and one of the officers was awarded a VC in 1917. This is almost certainly an other ranks button by virtue of its construction and lack of any gilt finish.

It (2.5cm) is of two-piece construction, the face plate being in gilding metal, the reverse being brass and marked 'MOORE TAGGART & CO. GLASGOW'.

Its condition is excellent, if a little worn on the highlights.

testimonials

I have in the last six months inherited my late father Alan Swain's police memorabilia collection along with much paperwork receipts etc. I would like to pass on to you my thanks for such good dealership with my father going back to the late 80s and well into the 1990s.
