Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Blazer Crest

The Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Blazer Crest is an embroidered insignia originally worn by members of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) on their blazers or dress uniforms. The RCASC was responsible for transport and supply functions within the Canadian Army from its establishment in 1901 until its amalgamation into the Canadian Forces Logistics Branch in 1968. The crest typically features the RCASC’s distinctive elements: a beaver atop a wreath, the Corps name encircling the central design, and various military motifs such as laurel leaves, crowns, or scrolls reflecting its royal designation. The material usually consists of colored threads and metallic wire on a dark background, intended for attachment to the left breast pocket of a blazer or jacket. This item serves as a historical artifact representing the Corps’ role in Canadian military logistics and is of interest to collectors and historians specializing in Canadian military uniforms and insignia.
