Canadian RCN Navy HMCS Uganda Cap Tally Full Length

The Canadian RCN Navy HMCS Uganda Cap Tally Full Length is an authentic piece of Royal Canadian Navy uniform insignia. This cap tally consists of a black silk ribbon bearing the ship’s name, “H.M.C.S. UGANDA,” in gilt wire or printed lettering, intended to be worn around the naval cap. HMCS Uganda was a light cruiser commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War, notable for its service in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres. Cap tallies such as this example were standard issue to crew members and served as a means of ship identification within the fleet. This particular tally is full length, measuring approximately 36 to 38 inches, as per original specifications, and is uncut, preserving its intended form for use. The cap tally provides both historical and uniformological value, representing a tangible connection to naval history and the broader context of Canadian military service during WWII.
