WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals RCCS British Made Starch Back Patch

The WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS) British Made Starch Back Patch is an original military insignia dating from the Second World War. This patch was issued to members of the RCCS, the communications branch of the Canadian military, responsible for establishing and maintaining military communications. The patch was manufactured in Britain and features a starched backing, a common method used during the era to provide durability and facilitate sewing onto uniforms. The insignia’s design typically includes symbols representative of the corps, such as signal flashes or related motifs, rendered in appropriate wartime colors. British-made patches were distributed among Canadian units serving in Europe and the United Kingdom. These insignia were worn on standard-issue battledress, denoting the wearer’s unit affiliation. As with other period uniform items, the starch back patch reflects contemporary manufacturing techniques and materials, distinguishing it from postwar or reproduction versions. The item is of interest to collectors specializing in Commonwealth military memorabilia.
