WW2 Canadian 3 Place Medal Ribbon Bar With CD

The WW2 Canadian 3 Place Medal Ribbon Bar With CD is an original military decoration accessory used by Canadian service members during and after the Second World War. This bar features three ribbon segments, each representing a distinct campaign or service medal awarded to the individual. Notably, one of the ribbons is for the Canadian Forces’ Decoration (CD), which was instituted in 1951 and awarded to officers and non-commissioned members for twelve years of service. The ribbon bar is designed for wear on the uniform, providing a compact display of multiple decorations without the need for full-size medals. Constructed with mounted ribbon strips on a metal backing, the bar includes an attachment mechanism suitable for uniform placement. Such items are significant for military history collections as they reflect the recipient’s service and the range of campaigns or duties performed. This specific configuration indicates postwar use, incorporating both Second World War and later Canadian honors.
