WW2 Canadian Army Gaiters 1943 Dated Size 2 Maker Bata This pair of World War II Canadian Army gaiters, manufactured in 1943 by Bata, represents standard issue leg protection used by Canadian forces during the conflict. Constructed from durable canvas with reinforced stitching, these gaiters are designed to cover the lower leg and ankle, providing support and protection against debris and mud. The buckle and strap fastening system ensures a secure fit, with each gaiter marked as Size 2, which corresponds to a medium fit according to wartime sizing standards. The inside is clearly stamped with the date of manufacture (1943) and the manufacturer’s name, Bata, a well-known supplier to Canadian and Allied militaries during the period. Gaiters of this type were commonly worn over ankle boots and became widely used in various theatres of war. They are characteristic of mid-war Canadian Army field equipment and illustrate a typical feature of uniform during the Second World War.
