Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Sergeant Rank Insignia Pair

The Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Sergeant Rank Insignia Pair represents the non-commissioned rank of Sergeant within the CWAC, which was established in 1941 as part of Canada’s military during the Second World War. Each insignia in this pair consists of three downward-pointing chevrons, typically embroidered in gold or khaki thread on a dark backing, designed to be sewn onto the upper sleeve of the service uniform. The Sergeant rank denoted supervisory responsibilities and leadership roles for women serving in administrative, clerical, communications, and logistics positions. CWAC personnel contributed significantly to the Canadian war effort, both domestically and abroad, until the corps was disbanded in 1964. These insignia pairs are representative artifacts of the period, reflecting the structure, rank designations, and uniform traditions of women’s service branches in the Canadian military. Suitable for collectors or researchers focused on military history or the evolution of women’s roles in the armed forces.
