As I have mentioned previously, my godfather was an officer in 8th Recce. He gave me his 8th Recce and 14th Canadian Light Horse cap badges. He transferred to the 8th Recce from the British Army. I believe he left the regiment in 1942 and spent the rest of the war with the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
I mention this as I suspect that 14th Canadian Light Horse badges would have been issued until 8th Recce badges were made available. Some pictures I have seen show the 14th CLH badges being worn after June 1944. I am guessing that the 8th Recce badges may not have been available to reinforcements.
