WW2 Canadian Army Battledress Size 4 Dated 1945

The WW2 Canadian Army Battledress Size 4, dated 1945, is an original military uniform component issued to Canadian forces during the Second World War. This battledress consists of a wool serge tunic and matching trousers, both tailored in Size 4, which was designed to fit soldiers of a specified height and chest measurement. The uniform features a button front, pleated chest pockets, and a waist belt on the tunic, with reinforced stitching for durability. There is a clear 1945 date stamp indicating the year of manufacture, providing historical context for its wartime use. Developed to standardize and modernize field wear, the Canadian variation of battledress was based on the British design but included unique adaptations, such as slightly different pocket shapes and button placements. This type of uniform was widely used by Canadian troops from 1943 through the late 1940s, both in combat and in post-war occupation duties.
