Not sure exactly what you mean by information? About the badges or the regiment?

Information about both the Regiment and it’s badges. As far as the drilled holes go this is the information supplied by the seller:
1926 era, Yorkton Regiment, OFFICER'S, Cap Badge. Dull Gold Gilt, two small holes for Overlay, but no overlay (Many years ago I was told that when the Officer's of the Regiment obtained their badges that there where more badges than Officer's so they removed the overlays from some and they issued these to senior NCO'S, I have never seen this in writing just going by what I was told, I have seen the Officer's badge with the overlay, also brass issue for the men) Makers mark, J.R. GAUNT/MONTREAL/MADE IN ENGLAND. Lug fasteners. Beautiful badge and in excellent condition. Mazeas M158a.
