WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Officer’s Half Spats Size 10

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Officer’s Half Spats, Size 10, are uniform accessories issued to female personnel serving in the Canadian military during the Second World War. Half spats, also known as gaiters, were designed to be worn over the top of service shoes, providing a neat appearance while offering some protection from mud and debris during marches and parades. Constructed from durable khaki-colored fabric, these half spats feature button closures along the side, reinforced stitching, and a contoured shape to fit securely over the wearer’s ankle and lower shin. The size “10” indicates the intended shoe or boot size compatibility. Half spats formed part of the distinctive dress regulations of the CWAC, an organization established in 1941 to enable women to serve in non-combat military roles. Items such as these illustrate the standard of uniform and highlight the contributions of Canadian women during World War II.
