In addition to living animals, some Canadian units also used inanimate objects as their unit's mascot. A First Nations pewter figurine originally attached to a factory in Picton, Ontario was used as the mascot for the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. Named Little Chief, the unit brought the mascot over to Europe when it was deployed during the Second World War. However, the mascot was lost in June 1940 while the unit was deployed as a part of the Second British Expeditionary Force to France during Operation Aerial. A solid pine replacement was ordered and was shipped to the unit to Europe later during the Second World War.
