G.O. 41 of 1928 says this:

BADGES 16th CANADIAN LIGHT HORSE

1. The following badges are authorized for the 16th Canadian L Horse
2. OFFICERS. Badges as described hereunder. The dress regulations for the Canadian Militia 1907, pages 48 and 49, are ammended by deleting 16th Light Horse and detail of badges, and substituting threfor the following detail for the "16th CANADIAN LIGHT HORSE".

Cap Badge
In brass. A Moose's head flanked by sprays of maple leaves and supported by a ribbon bearing the motto "FOR KING AND EMPIRE" ext. h. 1 3/4 in. extr. w. 1 3/4 in.

Collar Badge
In brass. As for cap. ext. h. 1 3/16 in. ext. w. 1 3/16 in.

Shoulder Badge
In brass. The title 16th C.L.H. in half inch plain block letters and figures.

3. OTHER RANKS. Cap, collar, and shoulder badges as for Officers.


The GO cleans up a few loose ends; but 'badge-wise' the only real change is the addition of shoulder titles. Yet another badge anomaly - I don't believe the titles as authorized are something the unit ever wore.
