48th Highlanders of Canada

White metal cap badge with 2 loops to reverse. Formed part of the 1st Infantry Brigade. Fought in Europe in WWII. Also Korea. Nicknamed the 'The Glamour Boys' because a shortage of puttees caused them to wear blue instead of khaki. When being inspected by King George VI he liked them better and said they should keep them.
