This is an original World War II Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS) Cap Badge.
During World War II, the corps most noticeable rolls included:
Clandestine Operations: RCCS technicians secretly ran "Hydra," a secure, high-speed radio transmitter network at Camp X that linked MI6, Washington, and Ottawa.
The Dieppe Raid (1942): The unit suffered heavy casualties while attempting to maintain communications under fire, teaching the Allies vital lessons about waterproofing gear and frontline signalling.
D-Day & Juno Beach (1944): Landing with the first waves, they successfully laid field cables and established eight wireless networks to link advancing ground troops with naval fleets.
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT): Specialised mobile units intercepted encrypted German radio traffic, funnelling crucial data directly to codebreakers at Bletchley Park.
This badge is in a good condition.
Bi-metal with lugs to the rear.
