Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Korean War Brown Leather Belt Dated 1951 C Broad Arrowed

This brown leather belt was issued to members of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) and is dated 1951. Marked with the distinctive “C” broad arrow stamp, it denotes official Canadian military property. The CWAC was established during the Second World War and continued service in the postwar years, including during the Korean War (1950–1953). This belt would have been part of the standard-issue uniform for CWAC personnel, reflecting the practical and durable design required for military use. It features a sturdy leather construction and a metal buckle, consistent with period-appropriate materials and specifications. The date stamp and military markings offer clear evidence of its provenance and issue period. Collectors and historians recognize such items as important representations of Canadian women’s role in twentieth-century military service, especially during the Korean War era. This piece is a documented example of CWAC uniform equipment from the early 1950s.
