Canadian Forces Queen’s Own Rifles QOR Private Rank Insignia Pair

The Canadian Forces Queen’s Own Rifles (QOR) Private Rank Insignia Pair consists of two cloth patches designed to denote the rank of Private within the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, a Primary Reserve regiment of the Canadian Army. Each insignia is typically embroidered, featuring a single chevron, though the precise design may vary according to the period of issue and uniform regulations in effect. The patches are usually manufactured using durable materials suitable for attachment to uniforms, either by sewing or with hook-and-loop backing, depending on the uniform pattern. The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada is one of the country’s oldest infantry regiments, tracing its origins to 1860, and has participated in numerous historical military actions. The Private rank is the entry-level designation for a trained soldier within the regiment. Rank insignia such as these are standard issue for personnel and are required for the accurate identification of rank within the Canadian Armed Forces structure.
