WW2 Canadian RCASC 5th Division Patch Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian RCASC 5th Division Patch Insignia is an original cloth formation patch used by the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps during the Second World War. This single patch represents the 5th Canadian Armoured Division, which served in key campaigns in Italy and Northwest Europe from 1943 to 1945. The insignia typically features a colored background denoting divisional affiliation, with an RCASC-specific emblem indicating corps membership. Formed to provide logistical and transport support, the RCASC played a crucial role in maintaining supply lines and operational mobility for Canadian forces overseas. Such patches would have been sewn onto the uniform sleeve and worn by personnel for identification and esprit de corps. Measures and construction methods are consistent with wartime Canadian manufacture, showing materials and stitching appropriate for the period. These insignia provide insight into the organizational structure and insignia system of the Canadian Army during World War II.
