Canadian Forces 3 PPCLI Airborne RECCE Patch 8 1/2″ X 11″

The Canadian Forces 3 PPCLI Airborne RECCE Patch represents the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (3 PPCLI), specifically associated with airborne reconnaissance (RECCE) operations. This patch is sized approximately 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, making it substantially larger than standard uniform patches and suitable for display or collection purposes. The design typically features distinctive elements associated with the 3 PPCLI and airborne reconnaissance units, reflecting their specialized role within the Canadian Forces. The 3rd Battalion, PPCLI, is a mechanized infantry battalion with a history of both airborne and reconnaissance capabilities. Such patches are used to identify unit affiliation and function among military personnel and are of interest to collectors and historians focused on modern Canadian military insignia. The item would have been displayed on gear or used in presentations rather than worn as a standard uniform badge, due to its large dimensions.
