Which unit is this collar pin from

[Loopgraaf]

Few years ago I bought this collar pin. The shop, was near by Arras, sell this collar pin as was it from India. It was cheap so i take the risk and get online to search. I found only information about Seaforth Highlanders 72nd Regiment Canada. What location that i bought this pin was it logical. 

Now is mine question, is it from that unit? And did every men in different rang wear it on the collar?

Is it York and Lancaster?

 

Edit - No it is not.

It is Seaforth Highlanders of Canada.

In the book 'The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada 1919/1965' we have note 18,19 p52 which tells us 'On the tunic all ranks wore the regimental collar badge "in gilt, a Cougar, standing". (General Order 111, dated 15 July 1923.)'

WW1?  I do not know.

It’s a soldier’s collar badge, not an officer’s.

This blogpost has a number of images of the men of the Battalion throughout the war years, all sourced fron Library and Archives Canada https://cefrg.ca/blog/72nd-seaforth-highlanders-of-canada-battalion/

While the detail isn't always there, from the general badge shapes it seems most likely to be a stags head rather than the cougar which is being worn.

One of the later pictures from April 1919 is of the Battalion Pipe Band coming back after a route march and is probably as good a photo resolution as will be available.

Certainly not cougar badges I agree.
