Hat badge---South Africa Heavy Artillery

...this from a site that I have found mid-19th century British regiment buttons, as well as several Canadian WWI items.
It is the size of a cap badge. Inscription reads South African Heavy Artillery. Boer War?
 
Steve, Great find!!! It may be WW1, and I would think it is not common badge, Probably brought back by a Canadian Soldier. It was common to trade badges and mount them on belts.

Ha! I've searched long and hard for this one, and here it is! That's the trouble with the internet, the pages are so transient and the links come and go... Here today, gone tomorrow...
Thanks Dean!
