WW2 Canadian General Service Lapel Badge On Card

The WW2 Canadian General Service Lapel Badge On Card is an original military artifact issued during the Second World War to recognize the service of Canadian military personnel. The badge is typically made of brass or similar metals and features the Canadian maple leaf emblem, accompanied by the words “General Service” and “Canada.” Designed for wear on civilian clothing, this lapel badge allowed veterans to display their service when not in uniform. The badge in this listing is presented on its original card, which often includes printed information regarding eligibility or instructions for wear. Such badges were awarded to members of the Canadian armed forces who had volunteered and served during the war, reflecting the individual’s contribution to the Allied effort. The preservation of both the badge and its original card adds to its historical interest, providing insight into Canada’s military recognition practices during the 1940s.
