WW2 Canadian Army Sergeant Stripes Insignia Pair

This pair of WW2 Canadian Army Sergeant Stripes insignia represents the rank worn by non-commissioned officers during the Second World War. Each insignia consists of three downward-pointing chevrons, traditionally sewn onto the upper arm of the uniform. Made from khaki wool with dark stitching to outline the chevrons, these stripes were a standard feature of Canadian Army battledress from 1939 to 1945. The sergeant rank indicated leadership responsibility, typically involving command of a section or acting as second-in-command of a platoon. Canadian Army insignia during the period closely followed British patterns, with minor distinctions in construction and materials. These items are original to World War II and provide a representative example of rank distinction within the Canadian armed forces. The pair offered here is unissued and retains original stitching and backing, suitable for historical reference, collection, or uniform restoration. No repairs or alterations are present.
