WW1 Canadian CEF Wound Stripe Maker Scully

The WW1 Canadian CEF Wound Stripe Maker Scully is an original piece of military insignia issued to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This particular wound stripe was manufactured by Scully, a known Canadian maker of military badges and accoutrements in the early 20th century. The stripe was worn on the left sleeve and signified that the wearer had received a wound as a result of enemy action. Constructed from brass, the wound stripe features a tapered, vertical bar design with attachment hardware on the reverse. Such insignia were introduced in 1916 and remained in use for the duration of the conflict, providing visible recognition of combat injuries sustained by Canadian personnel. The item represents a tangible link to the experiences of Canadian soldiers during WW1 and reflects regulations governing military dress and distinctions in that era.
