Next we have the 92nd Battalion, I believe the battalion was only used as reinforcements for other battalions once they arrived in Europe.
2 variations of the 92nd Battalion cap badge are pictured, a full buckle and half buckle variation. The full buckle variation is very well struck and beautiful cap badge. Made by Ellis Bros Toronto.
I did not add the 92nd battalion draft badge earlier as I do not have one in my collection and likely never will due to the price they sell for. But the badge is part of the story so I borrowed this picture from the CEF gallery on this forum.
I do not know a lot about this rare draft badge so only going by memory of what I have read in the past.
The 92nd draft badge was issued to new recruits when the 92nd Battalion was being raised. Not sure if it was issued because the proper cap badge was not ready or if it was just a nice little incentive to get men to sign up? If anyone has more information on it please let me know and I will update this section.
