Canadian Army Korean War 25 Brigade Patch Insignia

The Canadian Army Korean War 25 Brigade Patch Insignia is a cloth formation badge historically worn by members of the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade during the Korean War (1950–1953). The 25th Brigade was the primary Canadian ground formation deployed as part of the United Nations Forces in Korea. The patch typically features a red, rectangular background with a white number “25” centrally displayed, symbolizing the brigade’s designation. Constructed from durable cloth material, these patches were sewn onto uniforms to signify brigade affiliation and foster unit identity among service personnel. The insignia design follows standard Canadian Army pattern conventions of the period, with attention to clarity and ease of recognition. Items such as this provide insight into the organizational structure and operational history of Canadian military involvement in Korea. The patch is of interest to collectors, historians, and researchers specializing in mid-20th-century military insignia and Canadian defense history.
