WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals RCCS Battledress Slip-Ons Insignia Pair

The WW2 Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS) Battledress Slip-Ons Insignia Pair consists of two shoulder slip-on insignia used during the Second World War. These slip-ons are constructed from khaki wool fabric to be worn on the epaulettes of the standard Canadian battledress uniform. Each piece features the abbreviated title “R.C.C.S.” embroidered in yellow thread, denoting affiliation with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, the branch responsible for military communications and signals intelligence within the Canadian Army. The use of slip-on titles enabled easy identification of corps membership and facilitated the replacement or reassignment of insignia as necessary. These items reflect standard Canadian Army insignia practices of the wartime period and represent typical insignia worn by RCCS personnel serving in various theatres. The pair shows construction and design methods characteristic of wartime Canadian military uniform accoutrements and provides insight into unit identification systems in use during the conflict.
