Canadian Army Lorne Scots Corporal OD Green Armand Brassard

The Canadian Army Lorne Scots Corporal OD Green Armand Brassard is an original piece of military insignia associated with the Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment), a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. The item consists of a brassard made from olive drab (OD) green fabric, designed to be worn on the upper arm over the uniform. It features sewn insignia denoting the rank of Corporal as well as regimental identification specific to the Lorne Scots. Brassards like this were commonly used for temporary display of rank or unit identification, particularly in field or training environments, where permanent alterations to the uniform were impractical. The construction is utilitarian, intended for durability and easy application or removal. This example reflects standard issue patterns used by Canadian Army personnel during the late 20th century. Such items are of interest to collectors of Commonwealth militaria and those researching Canadian regimental history.
