WW2 Canadian Army Khaki Whistle Lanyard

The WW2 Canadian Army Khaki Whistle Lanyard is a period military accessory issued to Canadian forces during the Second World War. Constructed from braided khaki cotton cord, this lanyard was designed for secure attachment of a whistle, typically used by officers and NCOs for signaling and command purposes in the field. The khaki color matched standard-issue Canadian and Commonwealth battledress, ensuring uniform appearance. The lanyard typically features looped ends or a braided knot to facilitate attachment through buttonholes or epaulets, allowing the whistle to be worn on the uniform for quick access. Suitable for re-enactment use, collections, or reference, the original lanyards provide material evidence of Canadian military equipment standards during the 1939–1945 period. The item reflects standard-issue equipment practices of the era and is representative of similar items used by Commonwealth forces. Dimensions and construction may vary slightly due to period manufacturing variations. Whistle not included.
