Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps RCOC Collars Insignia Pair

The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (RCOC) Collars Insignia Pair is a set of metal badges worn on the uniform collar by members of the RCOC. This branch of the Canadian Army was responsible for the supply and maintenance of military matériel and equipment. The insignia typically features the RCOC cap badge design in a smaller size, often incorporating symbols such as a shield, three cannonballs, and crossed cannons, surmounted by a crown. These elements signify the corps’s logistical and ordnance functions. The pair is intended for display on both collars of the service dress tunic. The RCOC was established in 1903 and underwent several organizational changes before its amalgamation into the Logistics Branch in 1968. Collar badges such as this pair were standard issue during the 20th century and reflect Canadian military heritage. Variations in design and manufacture may occur depending on the period of issue and maker.
