Canadian Army Majors Rank Medical Corps Maroon Insignia Pair

The Canadian Army Majors Rank Medical Corps Maroon Insignia Pair consists of two matching shoulder rank badges used by officers holding the rank of major within the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. Each insignia is produced in maroon, the distinctive branch color for the Canadian Medical Corps, and features the traditional design associated with a major’s rank: a single crown set above a single pip. These insignia are typically embroidered and intended for attachment to uniform epaulettes. The maroon coloration distinctly identifies medical personnel within the Canadian Army and differentiates them from other branches. Such insignia were and are used in various uniform standards throughout the postwar period, including both service dress and field uniforms. The pair format allows for accurate representation on both shoulders. Collectors and researchers often seek these items for their specific branch association and for their connections to Canadian military history and the evolution of insignia design.
