Canadian Army Korean War 51 Pattern Brace Attachments

The Canadian Army Korean War 51 Pattern Brace Attachments are webbing components designed for use with the 1951 Pattern (51 Pattern) equipment set, which was standard issue to Canadian forces during the Korean War. These attachments, manufactured from durable olive-drab webbing, serve as connectors between the basic belt and the shoulder braces, distributing the load and ensuring stability of the equipment worn by soldiers in the field. The attachments typically feature metal hooks or buckles for secure fastening and are compatible with other 51 Pattern gear. The 51 Pattern webbing system represented an evolution of earlier British and Commonwealth designs, adapting to the demands of mid-20th-century warfare. Brace attachments are essential components for collectors and historians seeking to assemble or study a complete set of Canadian military webbing from the Korean War era. Their construction and materials reflect the typical military specifications of early 1950s Canadian Army equipment.
