Canadian Forces Korean War PWOR Officer’s Battledress Jacket Size 5 Dated 1952

This is a Canadian Forces Korean War Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment (PWOR) officer’s battledress jacket, dated 1952 and sized 5. The jacket is constructed from olive-drab wool serge, in accordance with regulations of the era. It features pleated chest pockets, concealed button front, and adjustable waist tabs. Regimental distinction is indicated by the attached PWOR shoulder titles. The jacket includes original military labeling with date and manufacturer markings, as well as size specification. This battledress was the standard issue for officers serving in the Canadian Army during the Korean War period, reflecting the uniform designs used from the late Second World War into the early 1950s. It presents typical officer’s tailoring, with features distinguishing it from enlisted ranks and earlier patterns. Garments such as this were worn in both training and active operations, providing valuable material evidence of mid-twentieth-century Canadian military dress and regimental identity.
