WW2 Canadian 5th Division RCCS Signal Corps Canvas Divisional Patch Single

The WW2 Canadian 5th Division RCCS Signal Corps Canvas Divisional Patch is an original cloth insignia worn by members of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals during the Second World War. This single patch is constructed from sturdy canvas and features the formation’s distinctive color pattern, which was used to identify personnel of the 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division. The patch typically displays a maroon rectangular background, often with a signal flash to denote the RCCS affiliation. Such divisional badges were sewn onto the battle dress uniform, serving both a practical and organizational role within the Canadian Army overseas. The RCCS played a crucial function in maintaining vital communications across the division’s operations in the Italian Campaign and Northwest Europe from 1943 to 1945. This divisional patch offers a tangible connection to the history of Canadian military communications and the broader efforts of the 5th Canadian Division during World War II.
