WW2 Canadian Army Gaiters 1943 Dated Size 2

The WW2 Canadian Army Gaiters 1943 Dated Size 2 are original leg coverings issued to Canadian forces during the Second World War. Constructed from heavy-duty canvas, these gaiters were designed to provide ankle protection and keep debris out of soldiers’ boots while marching or operating in various terrains. The 1943 manufacturing date, typically found stamped on the inside, confirms their period authenticity. Size 2 indicates a medium fit, suitable for the average adult soldier, with adjustable straps and metal buckles to ensure a secure fit over standard-issue boots. The khaki green color matches the standard Canadian Army battle dress of the era. These gaiters feature reinforced stitching and durable hardware consistent with mid-war Canadian military production standards. Frequently seen in wartime photographs and period manuals, they represent a common element of Canadian Army field equipment issued throughout the later years of World War II.
