Notes:
Officer’s collar badge for the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), one of Canada’s most distinguished infantry regiments founded in 1914. The coronet represents Princess Patricia of Connaught, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and the regiment’s first Colonel-in-Chief. This design continued with only slight variations into the modern Canadian Armed Forces period.
