WW1 Canadian CEF 4th Division Patch

The WW1 Canadian CEF 4th Division Patch is an original uniform insignia worn by members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force’s 4th Division during the First World War. The patch is typically constructed of cloth, featuring the distinctive formation sign used to identify the division on the battlefield and in support areas. The 4th Canadian Division was formed in 1916 and played a significant role in major battles such as the Somme, Vimy Ridge, and Passchendaele. The divisional patch was a key method for organizing troops, ensuring effective communication, and maintaining structure within the CEF. Variations in material, stitching, and color shades may occur due to different manufacturers and supply issues during wartime production. These patches are valued today for their historical significance and connection to Canada’s military heritage. Each patch offers insight into the identity and organization of Canadian forces during the Great War.
