WW2 Canadian Army Khaki Putties C Broad Arrowed

WW2 Canadian Army Khaki Putties are standard-issue gaiters utilized by Canadian forces during the Second World War. Constructed from durable khaki-colored cotton webbing, these putties were designed to be wrapped around the lower leg from ankle to calf, providing ankle support and helping to prevent dirt and debris from entering the boots. The putties in this listing bear the distinctive “C Broad Arrow” marking, signifying official Canadian military issuance. Each puttee measures approximately 9 feet in length and is equipped with cotton or canvas tape ties to secure them in place. This style of legwear was commonly used by infantry and other branches throughout the war, gradually phased out in favor of web gaiters later in the conflict. These artifacts represent a typical component of the Canadian soldier’s uniform during World War II and are often seen in period photographs and military collections.
