Canadian Ordnance Corps Corporal Patrol Jacket

The Canadian Ordnance Corps Corporal Patrol Jacket is a historical military uniform piece used by members of the Canadian Ordnance Corps. This jacket is constructed from wool fabric in a traditional dark blue or navy shade, characteristic of early 20th-century Canadian military attire. The design features silver or white piping along the edges, brass or gilt metal buttons engraved with regimental insignia, and corporal rank chevrons on the sleeves. The interior is typically lined for added durability and comfort. Worn primarily as part of the patrol order, this jacket was used during formal parades, inspections, and various ceremonial occasions rather than for field duty. The Canadian Ordnance Corps was responsible for the supply and maintenance of military equipment and stores, and the uniform signaled the rank and service arm of the wearer. The jacket provides insight into Canadian military dress regulations and the distinct organizational structure during its period of use.
