WW2 Canadian 3 Place Ribbon Bar

The WW2 Canadian 3 Place Ribbon Bar is a military artifact dating from the Second World War, originally worn by members of the Canadian armed forces. This specific ribbon bar is composed of three distinct ribbon segments, each representing an official wartime decoration or campaign medal issued to Canadian service personnel. Ribbon bars were typically worn on the uniform in place of the full-sized medals for practicality during daily duties or on less formal occasions. The arrangement and combination of ribbons indicate the wearer’s participation in specific campaigns or their receipt of certain honors. The construction includes a metal bar with attached fabric ribbons, which are mounted side by side. Secure mounting devices or pins are present on the reverse for attachment to a uniform. This item illustrates the range of recognition awarded to Canadian servicemen and women in the 1939-1945 period and reflects established military dress regulations of the era.
