Above you may view the scans for this interestingly designed WWI 216th Batallion cap badge. A clean copper o/r badge with nice patina, and with both original horizontally figured "flat" lugs original and in good order. 

Formed in mid 1916. This battalion was raised in Toronto, Ontario, with headquarters in Toronto. The men who formed this battalion were too short for the regular inlistment requirements. That is why they were known as the "Toronto Bantams". As the war continued they became recognized and accepted fully as pat of the proud Canadian fighting men.  The 216th Battalion (Bantams), CEF was authorized on 15 July 1916 and embarked for Britain on 18 April 1917. Upon arrival, its personnel were absorbed by the 3rd Reserve Battalion, CEF on 5 May 1917 to provide reinforcements to the Canadian Corps in the field. A beauty for a shadow box, memento, or for collection purposes.

Guaranteed 100% genuine.
