Canadian Forces OD Green The Essex and Scottish Canada Armband Brassard Dated 1952

The Canadian Forces OD Green The Essex and Scottish Canada Armband Brassard, dated 1952, is a post-Second World War military identification item. The brassard is constructed from olive drab (OD) green fabric and features the embroidered regimental title “The Essex and Scottish Canada” along with the year “1952.” Such armbands were typically worn over the uniform sleeve to designate regimental affiliation during training, ceremonial occasions, or during specific administrative duties. This example reflects the design conventions of the early 1950s, with sturdy cotton material and clear, legible embroidery. The Essex and Scottish Regiment was an infantry regiment of the Canadian Army, with a lineage tracing back to both Essex County (Ontario) and Scottish-Canadian military traditions. Marked by its clear period dating, this brassard provides a tangible connection to postwar Canadian military organization and regimental identity. Its physical characteristics and dated nomenclature assist in confirming its era of use within Canadian military history.
