Canadian Forces Queen’s Own Rifles Blank Armband Brassard

The Canadian Forces Queen’s Own Rifles Blank Armband Brassard is a military accessory associated with the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, a regiment established in 1860 and notable for its service in various conflicts. This item consists of a plain, unmarked fabric armband designed to be worn over a uniform sleeve. Such brassards were typically used to signify temporary assignments, duties, or specific roles, often allowing for quick identification of personnel without permanent insignia.
