Canadian Army Koren War RCA Tankard

The Canadian Army Korean War RCA Tankard is a commemorative ceramic vessel associated with the Royal Canadian Artillery’s service during the Korean War (1950–1953). It features the RCA regimental crest, typically displayed with the motto “Ubique” and traditional insignia, signifying the unit’s international operational history. This tankard was likely produced for veterans, regimental gatherings, or as a presentation item, reflecting the recognition of Canadian forces’ involvement in the United Nations operations in Korea. The tankard is constructed from glazed ceramic, with transfer-printed or hand-painted insignia applied to the exterior. Typical characteristics include a sturdy handle and a capacity suited for beverages such as ale or beer. Items of this type are valued by collectors of Canadian military memorabilia and are representative of mid-twentieth-century commemorative regimental ware. This tankard provides insight into post-war military traditions and the ways in which service in international conflicts was memorialized within the Canadian armed forces.
