EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinctive badge of the 22nd Battalion (Canadien Francais), a military unit recruited from French-speaking Canadians in the province of Quebec during World War I. Perpetuated by the esteemed Royal 22e Regiment, this battalion holds a significant place in Canadian military history. The 22nd Battalion saw its fair share of valor and heroism, with two of its members, Corporal J. Kaeble and Lieutenant Brillant, being awarded the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest military decoration for valor in the British Commonwealth. Corporal Kaeble received his VC on June 8, 1918, for his actions during the Battle of Bazentin Ridge, while Lieutenant Brillant was honored on August 8, 1918, for his bravery during the Battle of Amiens. This evocative badge, adorned with the fleur-de-lis and the Canadian maple leaf, is a testament to the courage and determination of the French-Canadian soldiers who served in the 22nd Battalion. The trench art design adds an intriguing layer to the history of this unit, which fought valiantly in the 1st Great War, also known as World War I. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any military history or art collection, but it also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Canadien Francais soldiers during their time in service.
