WW2 Canadian 2nd Division Patch

The WW2 Canadian 2nd Division Patch is a cloth insignia used by members of Canada’s 2nd Infantry Division during the Second World War. The patch typically features a red, equilateral diamond shape, which served as the division’s identifying emblem. This insignia was worn on the upper sleeves of the battledress uniform by personnel to indicate their assigned formation. The 2nd Canadian Infantry Division was involved in significant operations throughout the war, including the Dieppe Raid in 1942 and campaigns in Normandy and the Netherlands. The patch holds historical significance as a symbol of the division’s role in Allied military operations. Dimensions and construction methods may vary depending on period manufacturing, but authentic patches from this era are usually made from wool or similar cloth with stitched or cut edges. This item is of interest to collectors of Canadian militaria and those studying the history of the Canadian Army in World War II.
