Canadian Army Captain’s Rank Purple Pips Chaplain Set of 6

The Canadian Army Captain’s Rank Purple Pips Chaplain Set of 6 comprises a collection of six rank insignia pips used to denote the rank of Captain within the Canadian Army Chaplaincy. Each pip is designed with a distinctive purple coloring, which is associated with the Chaplain Branch and differentiates these pips from those used by other branches of the Canadian Army. Typically worn on the shoulder boards or epaulettes of service uniforms, these pips are arranged in two rows of three to indicate the Captain rank. The use of colored insignia for chaplains reflects longstanding traditions in military uniform distinctions. This set provides a representative example of Canadian Army insignia from the Chaplaincy, offering insight into the uniform conventions followed by clergy serving in military roles. Such insignia are of interest for collections focused on branch-specific and rank-specific military antiques, especially those relating to religious services in the armed forces.
