WW1 Canadian CEF Medical Corps Collars Insignia Pair

WW1 Canadian CEF Medical Corps Collars Insignia Pair This pair of collar insignia represents the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) Medical Corps as issued during the First World War. Each insignia features the emblematic design associated with the Canadian Army Medical Corps, typically including the Rod of Asclepius, a recognized symbol of medicine, within a laurel wreath and surmounted by a crown. Manufactured from brass, these collar badges were worn by personnel as part of their service dress, denoting their affiliation with the Medical Corps. The reverse side generally includes lugs and a pin attachment system, consistent with period manufacture. Items such as this were produced in significant numbers between 1914 and 1918 for wear by officers and enlisted men providing medical support on active service. This set provides a representative example of CEF Medical Corps insignia, reflecting the unit’s identity and role within the broader structure of the Canadian military during the Great War.
