You are viewing a WWII era Canadian Infantry sweetheart pendant. This pendant is made of clear celluloid material, with a small Infantry insignia inserted into the pendant
material. Some have concluded that this was made from the celluloid material used for the cockpits of the WWII aircraft . The really unique feature of this sweetheart pendant is its heart
shape. This item is still in very good condition. View scans for details.

Sweetheart badges and pins were often given to a female loved one, by their soldier lover, son, or father. They could have been supplied, for a cost, by the
quartermaster or by a private organization, such as Birks. Most were simply converted uniform devises from the regiment, and were available in the tuck shops. Many, if not all of the
battalions and regiments had this type of inspirational badge. As the war wore on, many of the givers were lost, and did not return. These items became a very cherished remembrance by their
recipients. Consequently, we generally call them "sweethearts".
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.
