WW2 Canadian 3 Place Ribbon Bar With ED

The WW2 Canadian 3 Place Ribbon Bar with ED is an original military decoration from the Second World War, issued to Canadian service personnel. This ribbon bar includes three mounted ribbon strips, each representing a specific campaign or service medal awarded during the conflict. The inclusion of “ED” denotes the Efficiency Decoration, a long-service award for officers of the non-permanent active militia and, later, the Canadian Army Reserve. These ribbon bars were worn on the uniform in place of full-sized medals for daily dress, allowing soldiers to display their honors in a compact format. The construction typically consists of fabric ribbons attached to a metal backing with a pin or clasp for secure attachment. This item reflects the service history and recognition of Canadian military members during World War II. The ribbon bar provides insight into the award system, uniform practices, and material culture of the Canadian Armed Forces during the period.
