WW1 Canadian CEF Medical Corps Officer’s Bronze Collar Insignia Single

This item is a World War I-era Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) Medical Corps Officer’s bronze collar insignia, offered as a single piece. The insignia features the traditional design adopted by the Canadian Army Medical Corps during the First World War. It is constructed from bronze, which was commonly used for officer’s insignia during this period. The design typically consists of the Geneva Cross superimposed over a laurel wreath, with a scroll or banner displaying the corps designation. Collar badges like this were worn in pairs on the service dress uniform, positioned on the collar tabs to signify the wearer’s branch and rank. Such insignia were issued to officers serving in medical roles within the CEF, providing both identification and an element of regimental pride. This artifact reflects the organization and distinction of Canadian military medical personnel during the 1914–1918 conflict.
