What does the hat badge look like today for the Royal Canadian Artillery?

What did their hat badge look like during World War Two?
 
The currrent badge is this one:

RCA, current cap badge

And the Second World War badge can be seen here:

Principally the design difference is the King‘s crown in use during the war and the current Queen‘s crown version.

the artillery cap badge is characterized by

- the grass that doesn‘t grow
- the crown you can‘t wear
- the wheel that doesn‘t turn
- the gun that won‘t shoot
- and the c....hmmm, how to put this delicately.... :D
 
Ah, the joys of regimental banter ! However, remember this, nothing happens on the battlefield until the Arty has given the area a good stonking...otherwise it‘s not safe for all the other little darlings to go about their jobs :p
 
Come on now, be a little nicer to the lesser trades.They try their best to be as good as we are!
 
Michael:

You‘re going to have to less subtle for all those out there that don‘t have a clue what your taking about with regards to our hat badge..... :D
 
Yea thats what I meant, but the fingers are fasrer the n the mind, and alas, I forgot the double check;

"Shot Neglect, over"
 
Roger that, I know the feeling only to well ! Except mine‘s more of a case of fingers being too slow...brain even slower :D
 
Just out of curiosity, why don‘t the "horse" wear the Royal Cypher as opposed to the arty badge?
 
Another question - I heard a dozen different explanations over the years, regarding IG‘s wearing the "tarnished" (brown) cap badge. Any true significance, or just what they got from British IG‘s?
