WW2 Canadian 14th Calgary Tank Regiment 14 CTR Armoured Corps Patches Pair British Made

This pair of WW2 Canadian 14th Calgary Tank Regiment (14 CTR) Armoured Corps patches represents the insignia worn by members of this regiment during the Second World War. Manufactured in Britain, these patches are constructed from a dark green wool base and display the white embroidered “14 CTR” lettering, which identifies the wearer as part of the 14th Canadian Tank Regiment. The 14th Calgary Tank Regiment was a component of the Canadian Armoured Corps and served as a cavalry tank unit. Canadian armoured units commonly received British-made insignia, reflecting wartime supply arrangements in the United Kingdom. Such formation patches would have been worn on the upper sleeves of the service dress or battledress uniform, providing identification within Commonwealth armoured forces. This pair illustrates period construction methods and typifies the regimental insignia used by Canadian tank crews attached to the 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade overseas. The patches are sold as a matching, original wartime pair.
