British Canadian Guards Corporal Rank Insignia Pair for Greatcoat

The British Canadian Guards Corporal Rank Insignia Pair for Greatcoat consists of two matching chevron patches, designating the rank of Corporal within the British Canadian Guards regiment. These insignia were intended for wear on the greatcoat, a type of heavy outer garment used by military personnel in cold weather conditions. Each patch typically features two downward-pointing chevrons made from durable materials, such as embroidered cloth or felt, in colours and styles consistent with the period and branch regulations. The British Canadian Guards were a Canadian Army regiment formed in 1953, modeled after the traditions of the British Guards, with distinctive uniforms and insignia. Corporal rank insignia signified a non-commissioned officer responsible for a small squad of soldiers. These pieces are of interest to collectors of Canadian military regalia, historians, and those studying Commonwealth ceremonial dress. Their design and manufacture adhere to the standards set for Canadian military greatcoat insignia.
