Default Calgary Tank Regiment
The Calgary Tank Regiment was one of the few Canadian WW2 regiments to have anything superimposed over the crown. The CTR had a sunburst over the crown on their cap badge until they changed to the Kings Own Calgary Regiment.

The stories I have heard is that the King who approves all Commonwealth military heraldry did not like anything over the crown so that is why the sunburst did not carry over to the post war cap badge. Is this just one of those stories or can anyone confirm this.
